Abstract:
As part of investigation into the feasibility of providing toilet/washroom facilities within the Vicar's Pele, a 2m x 2m test pit was excavated in the south-west corner of the vaulted basement of the tower to establish the depth of foundations and if any earlier floor surfaces or other archaeological deposits and features survived. The test pit was excavated to a depth of 1.1m as specified by the client's architect, being the maximum depth at which the fall on any new waste pipe could connect to an existing external sewer. The test pit showed that ground level within the Pele had been significantly raised in later 19th and/or early 20th century with imported demolition rubble. In the test pit area, any earlier floor, features or deposits had been destroyed by a pit which extended down into the natural subsoil below the required depth of excavation. A small quantity of residual late 13th-14th century pottery was recovered.
