Abstract: |
Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at The Goddard Arms Hotel, Swindon. A number of features were identified during the course of the project. These comprised three stone-lined drains, a well and a wall. These are all likely to be of Post-medieval origin, although an earlier, Medieval date cannot be entirely ruled out. A single sherd of Medieval pottery was recovered from one drain, although this was recovered from material that had entered the drain after the collapse of the capping stones and is likely, therefore, be residual in context. In all cases the features stand proud of the natural ground into demonstrably Post-medieval layers and may be considered unlikely to have survived undamaged, if of Medieval or earlier date. The nature of these features is entirely commensurate with backland activity associated with the Goddard Arms. |
