Abstract: |
In May, June and July 2020, ADAS carried out an archaeological watching brief for Western Power Distribution as requested by Ms Cat Lodge, the senior archaeologist for North Somerset Council. The groundworks were for a cable route in Banwell, North Somerset between ST 38336 58969 and ST40140 593093 as shown on Figure 1. The groundworks consisted of excavations for a new fibre optic cable. Although the cable route was located within a rich archaeological area of potential, no archaeological artefacts or features were identified during monitoring of the groundworks. The absence of archaeological features recorded during the monitoring of the cable route may be attributed to the relatively limited impact of the groundworks. These results indicate that the monitoring methodology used was effective in ensuring that the development resulted in no harm to the historic environment resource. Although the cable route was located within a rich archaeological area of potential associated with the
nearby Banwell Caves and Banwell itself, no archaeological artefacts or features were identified during monitoring of the groundworks.
The absence of archaeological features recorded during the archaeological monitoring may be attributed
to the relatively limited ground impact of the cable trench and the existing road carriageways at the
eastern end of the Route which may have truncated previously unknown archaeological remains. These
results indicate that the monitoring methodology used was effective in ensuring that the development
resulted in no harm to the historic environment resource. |
