Abstract: |
Hand augering and GPR transect. Excavation in the North Transept of Gloucester Cathedral in advance of possible building works has revealed two 18th century graves. In order to assess the depth of the archaeological deposits and test the bedrock a single location was selected and hand augered. The depth of the grave deposits was estimated to be 2.89m below ground level (BGL). The underlying stratum was waterlogged sand believed to be part of the superficial deposits, the Cheltenham Sands and Gravels. Approximately 1.6m of sand was recovered without reaching the bedrock geology. The auger hole was terminated at 4.76m BGL. |
