Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological observation was undertaken by Border Archaeology on behalf of Bristol Water plc during water mains replacement works approximately 0.5km to the W of the village of Coleford Somerset. The pipeline route extended 1.63km from the junction of Anchor Road and Farley Dell in Coleford (NGR ST 68320 49695) heading roughly S through fields and water meadows before terminating approximately 180m E of Ham Bridge (NGR ST 6779 4858). Based on the results of Border Archaeology's Assessment of the study area (BA 2012), it had been determined that the route extended through an area exhibiting low potential for encountering prehistoric, Roman and medieval archaeology but a moderate to high potential for encountering significant archaeology of post-medieval date in three specific areas. These sections of the route were the focus of the observation. The results of this programme of archaeological observation identified a section of the stone rubble millrace in AP 9, excavated N of the access road to Ham Mill. The structure was encountered roughly 15m further N than indicated on the Somerset Historic Environment Record database and was still in use. Within the remaining pits and the sections of open-cut trenching, no evidence of either the Dorset and Somerset canal or the Coal Barton colliery site, or indeed any other significant archaeology was encountered. All deposits in these pits consisted of natural clays and associated topsoil and subsoil or tarmac deposits.
