Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) during restoration works of the first pond which required excavations to remove the build-up of silt from the silt trap (Figure 1). This work took place at the request of Bath Spa University (the Client), and was carried out by P. Scrivener on the 5th April 2023 and in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (Boyd 2022) and with best practice and CIfA guidelines. The stratigraphy of the monitored area was comprised of the following: The topsoil, measuring 0.02m – 0.15m deep (001), was a very soft brown-grey silty loam which lay directly over a light grey brown silt (modern silt build up) which measured up to 1.25m deep (002). The natural beneath the silt was a very soft mid brown-yellow clay (003). The historic stone walling which would have edged the original pond and is depicted in some of the early illustrations of the site (Fig 2), was visible under the shallower sections of topsoil. This feature was not impacted by these developments. No archaeological deposits were identified, no finds were recovered, and no structural remains were impacted. |
