Abstract: |
In July and August 2013, Border Archaeology undertook a programme of Archaeological Observation on a water mains renewal scheme in two specific areas along City Road, within the St Paul's district of central Bristol, identified as having potential to reveal evidence of the survival of the Civil War defences of Bristol, built in the early to mid-1640s. During the course of the ground works between Brunswick Street and Brigstocke Road, a compact lime mortar surface (205) was revealed, at a depth of 0.75m below the current ground level (18.08m AOD), which was interpreted as a track-way or yard surface of possible post-medieval date. No artefactual evidence was recovered from the mortar surface or the overlying and underlying deposits which might have indicated a more precise date. Underlying mortar surface (205) was a sequence of soil deposits predating the mid-19th century development of City Road. |
