Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out by in advance of a redevelopment at Exe Bridges Retail Park, Cowick Street, Exeter. Previous investigations to the south and east of the site had uncovered medieval features along Cowick Street, a late medieval leat, and a 16th/17th century bronze foundry that produced bells and cauldrons. A length of the leat, probably of late 15th or early 16th century date, was exposed. After construction, it was soon infilled with large quantities of waste mould from the adjacent foundry. In the late 18th century the leat was narrowed, with new stone-lined walls constructed, one of which was exposed within the site. The leat was infilled in the third quarter of the 19th century. Limited excavation within the tenement west of the leat revealed a medieval subsoil, but no evidence of foundry deposits. The latter, which comprised dumps of broken-up mould and charcoal, was confined to deposits infilling the medieval leat. |
