Abstract:
A trench 30m x 4m wide was excavated in order to identify the location, alignment and state of preservation of the Benton to Winchcombe Waggonway. This proved that the major earthworks of the waggonway survive intermittently across the site, outside of the footprint of the former City Hospital. The truncated embankment and trackway gullies were evident. The timber elements had been removed during decommissoning, but evidence such as industrial waste from gullies, the width of the embankment and a 1m wide ledge in the eastern gully indicated the construction of the waggonway. All other features encountered post-dated the waggonway and were associated with the site's agricultural usage and later hospital buildings. One of the test pits revealed a ditch, probably a former previous field boundary. [Au(adp)]
