Abstract: |
Four small trenches were excavated to assess the impact of root systems of apple trees recently planted in the Abbey grounds. They were all in the SW part of the abbey grounds, to the S and SW of the Little Cloister appended onto the S side of the main Cloister. A fairly clear sequence of increasing archaeological sensitivity from W to E was suggested. Trench 1 (to the W) in particular showed that this area has been raised substantially in the relatively recent past. However as we move E, closer to the Abbey ruins, we find probable medieval deposits at a relatively shallow depth, and consequently greater care needs to be taken here during any future ground-breaking works. |
