Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the erection of a new, one and two storey detached building with associated car parking and landscaping works on land off Tyndall's Park Road, Bristol. Three residential property boundary walls of late 19th and early 20th-century date were observed. One of the walls corresponds to the boundary between Westbury-on-Trym and St Michaels parishes which is first depicted on Ashmead's 1828 map of Bristol. The parish boundary appears to have been 'fossilised' as this property boundary. A further wall identified is believed to relate to terracing in the formal garden of neighbouring Samber House which was built between 1840 and 1855. No archaeological remains pre-dating the modern period were identified. It is possible earlier archaeological remains associated with the parish boundaries have been removed through truncation probably during the construction of neighbouring residential properties in the mid 19th and early 20th-centuries or that they exist within the site but were not exposed during the course of the project. |
