Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief during development groundworks in and around the former graving dock structure. No archaeological features or remains pre-dating the 19th century were observed. A sequence of post-medieval ground reclamation and consolidation was observed cut by the construction trench for the northerly extension of the graving dock in the late 19th century. Associated with the dock extension were found the remains of sleepers and concrete supporting the rails of a travelling crane which was in place by at least 1934. Within the northern end of the dock was found the remains of a staircase by which the dock was accessed. Evidence was also seen for the in-filling of the dock in in the 1980s. The watching brief did not expose any remains of the original graving dock structure, built in 1876-8. |
