Abstract:		 This report details the results of a programme of archaeological works undertaken by Border Archaeology during ground-works associated with the Weston-Super Mare water mains renewal scheme. The site (centred on NGR ST 32606 61400) lies within the urban area of Weston-Super-Mare. The work revealed clays and sands of alluvial and tidal origin, associated with the silting of a coastal inlet, which was in existence until the post-medieval period. A number of small palaeochannels, indicating watercourses open during the time when silting was taking place, were also identified. Construction during the 19th century took place on a coastal, intertidal landscape of silts and clays, together with beach sand. While no features of archaeological significance were observed during the intrusive ground-works, on the N part of the site a possible relict land surface was revealed. Its proximity to Montpelier, where prehistoric funerary remains were discovered during the 19th century could indicate the potential survival of archaeologically significant deposits in this area. All natural layers observed during the course of the work had been heavily truncated during installation and maintenance of existing services.

Note:		 This report details the results of a programme of archaeological works undertaken by Border Archaeology during ground-works associated with the Weston-Super Mare water mains renewal scheme. Border Archaeology was instructed by Bristol Water plc to carry out a programme of Archaeological Observation during water mains replacement work in the E part of the urban area of Weston-Super-Mare. The area affected by the work was bordered by Ashcombe Road to the E, Locking Road to the S, Jubilee Road to the W, and Baker St to the N. With the exception of Locking Road, where open cut trenching was used, the scheme involved the excavation of access pits for slip lining along residential streets. The aim of the Archaeological Observation was to locate and record any archaeological finds, features or deposits within the ground-works area and to confirm that no impact on the archaeological resource occurred during the course of the ground-works.
