Abstract: |
Between July and September 2017, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out archaeological works, comprising an evaluation and an excavation, at Dove Lane, St Paul's, Bristol. During the evaluation phase 10 trenches were excavated. The evaluation demonstrated that remains of 19th-century housing survived to varying degrees across the site, with the bestpreserved examples present in Trenches 2, 3 and 5, but with remains of buildings of this era also surviving in Trenches 4, 6 and 10. A large amount of modern truncation was identified, caused by heavy bombing of the area during World War II and the clearance and redevelopment of the site as a cardboard factory. Based on the results of the evaluation, three excavation areas were targeted on Trenches 2, 3 and 5. Area 2 revealed the complete floor plans of two mid-terrace properties associated with Cottage Place (later Dove Lane), with parts of the adjoining properties on either side also surviving within the excavation area. Large parts of the excavation area were truncated by concrete pile bases and service trenches pertaining to the post-war development of the site. The remains of semi-detached properties that once formed part of Cross's Gardens were excavated in Area 3, along with associated outbuildings. The excavation identified evidence for expansion and restructuring of the properties in the middle and late 19th century. The basements of three properties that once formed part of Windsor Terrace were excavated in Area 5. In this area, post-war clearance had truncated to below the contemporary ground level, leaving only subterranean structures remaining. The excavation © Cotswold Archaeology 5 Dove Lane, St Paul's, Bristol: Archaeological Evaluation and Excavation identified functions for the basement rooms, including sculleries and pantries, as well as providing evidence for internal remodelling of the properties over time. |
