Abstract: |
Two excavation areas were opened within the site :
• Area 1 (c. 5m5m):
• Area 2 (c. 8.8mx5.7m):
The excavation areas were located to investigate features recorded by the previous
archaeological watching brief In October 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation of land at
the Former Post Office Depot, Cattle Market Road, Bristol. Two areas were excavated within
the site.
Four burial pits containing twenty-one sets of coffined, lime-coated human remains were
identified in an area known to have been used as a cholera burial ground in 1832. An
overlaying wall and a cobbled surface, possibly associated with a mid-19th century cattle
market and 20th-century post office depot were also recorded. |
