Abstract: |
The watching brief comprised the archaeological monitoring of a series of trenches excavated as part of the underpinning works for the division of the unit and the refurbishment of the existing building. T1 and T2 were later included within and superseded by T4–T9, and T3 was not excavated. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology and ISCA Archaeology (on behalf of Cotswold Archaeology) in November 2019 and June/July 2021 at 21-22 Queen Street, Exeter, Devon. The watching brief recorded a series of post-medieval/modern made ground layers at the site. Where the natural substrate was exposed (at a depth of 2m below present ground level), it was sealed directly by these layers. This indicates that the site has undergone extensive truncation in the post-medieval/modern periods, presumably associated with the construction/demolition of the post-medieval buildings at the site, the construction of a mid-19th century building, and the subsequent demolition and rebuilding of this structure in the 1980s. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were recorded. |
