Abstract: |
Report on Archaeological Watching Brief at Abbey Mead, 3 The Park Keynsham Bath and North East Somerset during groundworks associated with building renovations. Initial plans for the project included a large single storey extension to the rear (north side) of the existing building to provide a garden room and dining area, with a separate and much smaller two storey extension planned for the east side of the building to provide a ground floor entrance, wash and cloak room and a further bathroom above. Changes to the planned renovations meant that only the smaller of the two proposed extensions was built. The area of excavation was heavily truncated by service cables and pipes and no features or deposits of archaeological significance were recorded. A stratigraphic section could be recorded at one end of the trench which was not so heavily disturbed by modern services. Here thick bands interspaced with narrow bands of material overlay what can only be described as the top of natural which was reached at the base of the trench. There was no obvious dating material within these deposits, although pieces of building material was found, perhaps from the construction of the house. It is probable that all the deposits recorded during the watching brief were associated with the construction of the main house and were the result of moving material around when the foundations and cellar were excavated during the mid-19th century. |
