Abstract:		 The watching brief comprised the observation by a competent archaeologist of all intrusive groundworks at the site. Non-archaeologically significant deposits were removed by the groundworks contractors under archaeological supervision. Where mechanical excavators were used, these were equipped with toothless buckets. Written, graphic and photographic records were compiled in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. CA will make arrangements with the Somerset County Museum Service for the deposition of the site archive. A summary of information from this project, as set out in Appendix B, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. In July 2017, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief at Cannington Bends, near Bridgwater, Somerset. The watching brief was targeted on an area where development groundworks impacted a medieval or post-medieval flood defence bank. The monitored groundworks removed topsoil only. The base of the topsoil was not reached and no underlying deposits were exposed. The works demonstrated that the upper 0.3m of the bank earthwork is composed of modern topsoil. No archaeological features or deposits were recorded.
