Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Hercules House of land to the rear of Nelson Street and Barton Street, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire (NGR: SO 893 327). Piles and foundation trenches were observed across the site. The former identified the natural matrix at a depth of approximately 1.80m depth, although it was otherwise not possible to distinguish discrete layers above. The latter were dug to 0.60-0.80m depth, revealing only mixed soils and overburden with variable brick rubble. No significant archaeological features, layers, horizons, structures, or archaeological artefacts were identified. On the basis of this and the findings of adjacent sites, it is conjectured that medieval and earlier levels remain largely undisturbed below the observed overburden layers across the present site. |
