Abstract: |
Rapid archaeological recording was undertaken of the Royal Gunpowder Factory. Lower Island contained a purpose-built black powder factory comprising various mills for incorporating, glazing, pressing etc. The proposed construction of a road across the site necessitated the removal of 300-800mm of contaminated topsoil. This revealed brick foundations, culverts, the edge of canals/leats and various moorings. [Au] |
