Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of one trench, in the location
shown on the attached plan. The trench measured 3.7m in length by 2.7m in
width (the slight difference from that proposed in the brief and WSI being due to the
location of the existing shoring). Due to the poor GPS coverage on site, the trench
was set out with hand tapes and levels were tied into a benchmark with a known
height Above Ordnance Datum. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2016 at
Gunns Mill, Flaxley, Gloucestershire. One trench was excavated. A subsequent watching
brief was undertaken on nearby groundworks in June 2016.
The evaluation and watching brief revealed two walls on a different alignment compared to
the adjacent surviving walls of the mill and these likely formed part of a retaining wall and its
perpendicular return at the bottom of an earthen dam. |
