Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in April 2009 at the request of Mr S. and Mrs P. Green at The Walled Garden, The Old Rectory, Claverton, Bath and North East Somerset. Three trenches were excavated. No archaeological features or deposits predating the post-medieval period were found. The earliest activity encountered was evidence of quarrying of outcropping limestone in the north-eastern corner of the site. Excavations at the western end of the garden showed that there had been extensive remodelling of the ground surface in the post medieval/ modern period. The rubble and earth imported for this purpose contained sherds of Roman and medieval pottery. Evidence was also found for a glasshouse seen on 19th-century Tithe and Ordnance Survey maps. |
