Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July, August and October 2016, and January and February 2017 during groundworks associated with the construction of a car park and renovation of the Stables building into a dwelling at The Stables West Amesbury House, West Amesbury, Wiltshire. A brick and chalk cob/block built well was uncovered during the Watching Brief but is most likely Post-medieval in origin with chalk cob built wells being common in the Post-Medieval period. It has been covered following abandonment with a upturned staddle stone, which were often used in barns, possible indicating an earlier phase of barns had been present within the site prior to the current phase of development. No other features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during groundworks, and no artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was recovered. |
