Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Peter Rosser at Wiltshire Council (the Client), to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of service pipes at Salisbury Arts Centre, St Edmunds Church, Salisbury, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 14703 30358. Burials have been recorded during previous investigations at the site, and as a result the County Archaeology Service requested that an archaeological watching brief was maintained during the initial groundwork. The machine excavation of a service trench, located immediately outside the eastern door of the Salisbury Arts Centre, was monitored by an archaeologist. The machine excavated trench measured approximately 20m in length, 0.60m wide and 0.90m deep, and connected the church to the boiler room to the north. A number of graves and two tombs were recorded during the watching brief. The burials were subject to rapid archaeological recording, and while those below the depth of the pipe trench remained in situ, several were lifted for later reburial within the site. Although the date of some of the burials is uncertain, a number have been dated by the associated coffin fixtures and fittings, to the late 18th or early 19th century. |
