Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed sites of a swimming pool and an all-weather sports pitch at a school. Roman coins and pottery had been found within the school grounds, and Romano-British buildings had been recorded at the site of Whitecross Manor, 80m to the east. The site of Lydney Furnace, used between 1604 and 1773, lay to the north. During the evaluation a wall which was interpreted as the boundary of Whitecross Manor, possibly dating from 1561-1619, was recorded at the proposed sports pitch site. Two possible drainage gullies, and channels containing deposits which may have related to use of the furnace, were also revealed. No archaeological remains were seen within the area of the proposed swimming pool. It was recommended that the proposed sports pitch should be relocated, but that a watching brief should be carried out during groundworks should relocation be impossible. [AIP] |
