Abstract:
An evaluation of the development site showed that the archaeological resource had survived relatively intact. A stone-filled feature may have been a post hole for a riverside structure cut into a water-eroded subsoil and was probably of medieval date. A layer of water-worn stones seemed likely to have been river-laid at the edge of this eroded subsoil. A deliberate dump of stones and mortar which overlay the subsoil and rolled stones was deposited in the post-medieval period. Shortly afterwards, probably in the first half of the 18th century, a dump of pottery waste and kiln debris was evenly spread over the stone dump, possibly, though not certainly, as part of the same process to raise the level of the river bank. The waste consisted of sherds of sugar-making pottery, chimney pots and garden wares, probably from the Westbury pottery. A thick layer of ashy garden soil was probably dumped over the site and at least one possible bedding trench was recorded. The sherds would have provided ideal drainage for a garden for Trym Lodge. The garden would have survived at least until Philblack acquired it in the 1950s. [Au(abr)]
