Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Nottingham City Council to carry out a program of archaeological supervision and recording on the excavation of three c.0.56m x 0.56m concrete pads for the placement of supporting pillars in advance of erecting an iron railing fence c.12.5m in width. A c.12.5m stretch of the former c.19th boundary wall was removed prior to attendance, which had been leaning at a precarious angle caused by adjacent tree root damage. No archaeological deposits, layers or features were observed. A possible sandstone foundation was recorded at an approximate depth of c.0.7m across the site. These were bonded by modern mortar, and provenance is uncertain. It is possible that these reflect reuse of priory stone for the construction of the c.19th wall, however only the surface was exposed. Two probable c.19th masonry nails and a well preserved lamb vertebrae were recovered. |
