Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief on land at Dunster Castle, Dunster, Somerset (SS 99293 43496) was undertaken by AC archaeology in February 2017 during the creation of a new compost area. The site was located on the east side of the castle grounds, close to the River Avill. Groundworks comprised the bulk reduction of an area for new compost bays and an associated driveway. A short section of a mortar-bonded stone wall was exposed during the work and this corresponded with the location of a former small enclosure dating to the 19th century. This was overlain by recent made ground. No pre-modern finds were recovered.
