Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by the Field Section of the Historic Environment and Archaeology Service (the Service) on behalf of behalf of John Slaney of Gloucester City Council (the Client) at Gloucester Folk Museum, Gloucester (NGR SO 8284518714). Gloucester City Council were granted planning permission to construct an education wing in the rear courtyard of the museum, a two storey extension linked to the existing Cider House, subject to conditions including a requirement for an archaeological watching brief. Two major trenches within an area of approximately 136 square metres were excavated in the car park to the rear of the museum to accommodate the footings for the new building (Trench 2). A number of smaller trenches were excavated within an area of approximately 25 square metres inside the Cider House Cottage to accommodate the service pipes for washroom facilities (Trench 3). Trench 2 revealed an earlier (2008) evaluation trial Trench 1, the north-west facing exterior wall of the Cider House and adjoining Cider House Cottage. It also revealed a reinstated floor surface and a cut for a modern salt glazed soil pipe [207] in the northern side. Trench 3 revealed multiple post-Medieval floor surfaces, including flagged, tiled and concreted deposits and two interior walls on either side a staircase leading to the second floor. A large grinding stone was recovered from a deep mixed made ground deposit. |
