Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during construction of a new swimming pool. The archaeological features of interest were the former leat for the Mount Foundry and the earlier Town Leat/Mill Brook. Historic mapping showed that the Mount Foundry leat crossed the development area and was filled in during the second half of the 20th century. Its line was represented by a shallow earthwork although topsoil stripping for a parking area did not find any further evidence for the position of the Mount Foundry leat. It is concluded that the remains of the leat remained buried under late 20th century made ground. The Town Leat/Mill Brook was present as a dry stone-lined ditch adjacent to Parkwood Road and was largely undisturbed by the development. |
