Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bristol Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of a water pipeline which was located on the outskirts of Bristol, running between National Grid Reference (NGR) 363580 178955 to 3693312 179891. A previous desk-based assessment has been completed for the pipeline route which identified two areas with increased archaeological potential. Following consultation with the Historic Environment Record Officer at South Gloucestershire Council a watching brief in both areas was agreed. The watching brief was maintained during the excavation of the easement and pipe trench in the two areas with increased archaeological potential. Despite the presence of features recorded on the Historic Environment Record which had been transcribed from aerial photographs, no archaeological features were recorded during the fieldwork. The exact photograph from which the features were transcribed was not referenced and aerial photographs examined as part of the desk-based assessment did not identify any evidence for these features. Although no agricultural features were identified which could explain the features, the underlying geology formed of Mercian Mudstones with sandstone banding could have caused a variation in the crop. |
