| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a new building at a school, which lay within the boundaries of a SAM. The school had been established on the site of a series of Saxon Royal Palaces, excavated prior to the construction of the school in the early 1960s. It lay within the historic core of the village of Cheddar. During the evaluation, four test-pits were excavated within those areas likely to have been least disturbed by prior activity. Part of an undated ditch was observed. This had been cut into the natural gravel, suggesting the possible survival of other features within those areas of the proposed development which remained undisturbed. The depth of stratigraphy appeared to indicate that no such features survived above the underlying gravel. Artefacts recovered included an unstratified sherd of medieval pottery, a fragment of medieval glass, a Romano-British pottery sherd and a modern steel bar. [AIP] |
