Abstract: |
The site lies on the edge of the historic castle of Sherborne. The archaeological significance of the site - a scheduled monument - is acknowledged by all parties and will not be described here. Although it was anticipated that the trenching for the new water main would be relatively shallow and be mainly overlying an old main, it was considered possible that archaeological features and/or deposits might survive along the edge of the trench. A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of a new water main. The service trench was 75m by 0.4m. It was on average 0.6m deep and was cut along its entire length through a layer of landscaping. |
