Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mills Whipp Projects on behalf of their clients EDF Energy to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation in advance of a planning application for the future development of Cannington Court as EDF Energy's world class UK company wide training facility. The archaeological evaluation was carried out to assess the potential for surviving below ground remains. Structural remains comprising walls, foundations and probable floor surfaces were identified within Area A. The earliest finds relating to the destruction debris and overburden contexts associated with these structural remains, date to medieval period and perhaps indicate a medieval origin to these features. No modern structures are depicted in the locality of these structural remains on the historical mapping from 1825/26 onwards, indicating that these structures date to the 18th century or earlier. It is possible that these remains relate to ancillary buildings which would have been associated with the original monastic layout of the site. No significant archaeological remains were encountered within Area B or Area C. The fieldwork was conducted between the 28th May and the 1st June 2012. |
