Abstract: |
During March 2009 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording during groundworks associated with the replacement of a leaking fire hydrant valve. The site is occupied by a sports hall with associated facilities including hard and grassed courts and pitches, accommodation blocks and access roads. In the western part of the site, the main adminiatrative buildings occupy a Grade I Listed medieval and Tudor house. To the south of the main house, several other historic buildings survive including a 15th century dovecote and former barns, and contemporary agricultural buidings. The area of monitoring was within the original enclosure of the medieval monastic precinct therefore a high potential existed for medieval and post-medieval remains to be encountered. In the event the groundworks were limited to the area of previous ground disturbance associated with the construction of the fire hydranct, and no archaeological features or finds were present within the area monitored. |
