Abstract: This Rapid Appraisal of a water mains renewal scheme extending for 220m along Old Coach Road through the village of Cross (Somerset), approximately 0.7km W of Axbridge, has been undertaken in response to a request from Bristol Water in advance of engineering works. The route of the proposed water mains scheme extends for approximately 220m along Old Coach Road, an unclassified road running E-W through the hamlet of Cross, approximately 0.7km W of Axbridge (Somerset). The route extends E from the junction of Old Coach Road and Webbington Road (NGR ST 4117 5476) and terminates just to the W of the junction with Springfield Close (ST 4139 5473).The proposed engineering methodology consists of sliplining (requiring the excavation of small access pits) for the installation of a 125mm diameter pipe. This Rapid Appraisal constitutes a rapid trawl of archaeological databases and other readily available sources of historical and archaeological information (where deemed appropriate) to identify
