Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Gideon Chapel, Hudnalls, The Common, St Briavels, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 54509 03617). It was commissioned by Andrew and Caroline Langdon, in advance of proposed groundworks in association with a change of use of the building from a redundant chapel to a residential dwelling. A planning application has been submitted to Forest of Dean District Council. The site is located on St Briavels Common, about 1.6km east of the river Wye. It currently consists of a small parcel of scrub land immediately east of the Gideon Chapel. One trench was excavated down the centre of the site to determine the presence of archaeological activity, and specifically to confirm if the land had been used as a cemetery, as indicated on historic maps. A single archaeological feature was encountered: a small, irregular pit that contained no dating evidence. A stone rubble layer of probable construction debris from the chapel was found at the western end of the trench, likely to have been laid as a levelling deposit. No evidence of this land being used for burials has been found in this evaluation. It is considered that the results of this evaluation provide an accurate characterisation of the site, and that the potential for further archaeological activity to exist is low. |
