Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Lawnstone House, Coleford, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 5750 1057). It was commissioned by Sustain by Design Ltd on behalf of Forest of Dean District Council (FoDDC), in association with redevelopment of the site, for which planning permission has been granted, subject to a programme of archaeological works. The site is located on the southern edge of the centre of Coleford, bounded by the Studio Cinema to the north, High Street to the east and the offices and car park of Forest of Dean District Council to the south and west. It is within the historic core of Coleford. A previous desk based assessment highlighted the high potential for medieval and later settlement activity. Groundworks on site including ground reduction, building footings and services were monitored. The modern footings from recently demolished buildings, a stone culvert related to the original Lawnstone House and a 20th century brick chamber were recorded. The site appeared to have been extensively disturbed during the previous development in the 20th century. One sherd of pottery recovered from the original footing of Lawnstone House, dated to the 18th century and correlates to the building's construction in this period. No medieval or post-medieval deposits or features were present, or other artefacts recovered. |
