Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of six trenches, Trenches 2-7,
measuring between 7m and 24m in length.
The trenches were located to provide a representative sample of the site in a way to
avoid known services within the car park. The locations and dimensions of all
trenches required adjustment during the course of the fieldwork to avoid buried
services and other constraints. Trench 3 was abandoned following initial machine
excavation due to the discovery of a large quantity of previously unknown buried
services and Trench 1 remains to be excavated at a later date. In January and February 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological
evaluation of land at Bath Quays North, Bath, Bath and North East Somerset. A total of six
trenches were excavated.
Alluvial deposits were observed within the west and south-east of the site. This was overlain
by a series of well-preserved 18th to 19th-century walls, surfaces and levelling deposits,
which correlate closely to residential, industrial, and commercial premises shown on historic
mapping. The site was sealed by a uniform spread of demolition material and modern
surfacing. |
