Abstract: |
This report details the results of a programme of Archaeological Observation (commonly known as a watching brief) undertaken by Border Archaeology on behalf of Bristol Water plc during the Victoria to Trinity mains replacement scheme in central Bristol, between the 22nd October 2012 and the 25th April 2013. Based on the results of a detailed archaeological assessment of the study area previously undertaken by Border Archaeology (BA, 2012) it was identified that the pipeline route extended through an area of Moderate to High archaeological sensitivity within the medieval suburb of Redcliffe and Temple and along the southern and eastern fringes of the medieval suburb of Old Market in close proximity to the line of the 'Great Ditch', dug in the late 12th/13th century to defend the Old Market suburb. All the pits exhibited evidence of heavy disturbance by late 19th/20th century road construction works and service trenching; however, significant archaeological remains were identified in six of the pits excavated. |
