Abstract: |
The watching brief monitored the hand excavation of two trial holes, three inspection box pits and trenching, as well as the machine excavation of trenching along Dome Alley from Judge’s Lodgings to the rear of 9 the Close.The trenches were excavated to a shallow depth of no more than 0.4m below ground level. Trial holes and inspection box pits were excavated to a greater depth of between 0.41m and 0.80m below ground level. The Watching Brief in Winchester Cathedral Close did not reveal significant previously unidentified archaeological resources. The Watching Brief recorded features and layers observed in other Watching Briefs carried out by John Crook during previous service installations, including part of the medieval infirmary wall north of the Judges’ Lodgings. Contexts identified in Box 1 are likely post medieval in date and probably represent repeated phases of raising the ground level. |
