Abstract: |
Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Goodwin Building Co. Ltd. to undertake a multi-phase programme of archaeological works at the site of the Former Bretby Art Pottery, Swadlincote Road, Woodville, South Derbyshire prior ot the construction of housing units and associated car parking, access and landscaping. The site had been in use in 1873, initially as a brick yard, until 1885 when the site was redeveloped as the Bretby Art Pottery. Pottery manufacture continued on the site until 1996. The archaeological works undertaken involved a watching brief during excavation of foundation trenches for the new housing, the archaeological excavation of a trial trenches for the new housing, the archaeological excavation of a trial trench to access the survival of a pottery kiln, and archaeological recording of all archaeological remains identified as mitigation. The archaeological evaluation trench was targeted at assessing the preservation of the remains of a pottery kiln, which was also the location of heay contamination by Japanese Knotweed (JKN), the roots of which penetrated the archaeological remains. Removal of the traces of JKN also necessitated the removal of the remains of the kiln. Removal of JKN was fully monitored by an archaeologist and archaeological excavation and recording of the kiln was monitored by an approved JKN removal contractor. Removal of the kiln structure by hte JKN contractors also allowed a cross section through the kiln to be recorded. |
