Abstract: |
Between September 2017 and April 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief at St James Park football stadium, Stadium Way, Exeter. The watching brief was undertaken in the south-western corner of the site, where a medieval well and conduit are known to have been located. The watching brief identified no archaeological remains. The observed groundworks did not penetrate to the bottom of a deep redeposited natural fill layer. This material presumably derives from truncation/levelling works undertaken to create the flat football pitch, and was dumped in the south-western corner of the site in order to raise the ground level in this area. This redeposited natural may protect the remains of the medieval well and conduit, which are believed to lie some 10m-12m below the pre-development ground level. |
