Abstract: |
This report has been written in response to a condition placed on planning consent by Harrogate Borough Council (App. No. 6.100.2007.B.FUL) for an archaeological watching brief. A large proportion of the proposed development area (PDA) has been subject to modern disturbance. However archaeological deposits were identified and some of these were able to be accurately dated. These deposits relate to the town's 19th century water cistern and were marked by coursed sandstone walls abutted by an impervious deposit of red clay. Dating of this structure was provided by a deliberately deposited coin (George III, 1813). The foundation trenches extended down to c.1 m below the present surface and no artefacts and contexts earlier than the 19th century were encountered. This absence of any artefacts pre-dating the 1800s probably indicates that the present ground surface has increased in height during the course of the last 200 years. Indeed the PDA had probably been cleared for the construction of the 1813 structure which proved to be the town's Georgian water cistern and associated buildings. This report has recorded a series of early 19th century structural features, there are no further recommendations. |
