Abstract: |
Bristol and West Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring (watching brief) at The Former Post Office Sorting Depot, Cattlemarket Road, Bristol during groundworks to excavate fifteen test pits and two boreholes. The archaeological objective of the works was to provide further evidence of the Cholera Burial ground located within the study area, part of which was probably located during test-pitting in 2014 (BHER 25409) although a MOLAS watching brief in January 2010 (BHER 24814) had found no evidence of the cholera burial ground.. During these works no features or deposits of archaeological significance were revealed. Those deposits affected by the works comprised modern surfaces of tarmac and concrete sitting over madeground deposits of later post-medieval date. In some of the Test pits deposits of alluvium were observed below the made-ground horizon and this was excavated to a maximum of 2.4m though no evidence of the Cholera Burial ground was observed. |
