Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation was undertaken following the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standard and Guidance for an archaeological watching brief (2020a), and in accordance with the WA fieldwork manual (2020). The fieldwork programme was followed by an assessment of the data as set out in the Standard and Guidance for archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2020b) and the Standard and Guidance for the collection, documentation, conservation and research of archaeological materials (CIfA 2020c). The archaeological work was undertaken between 13th and 15th July 2022 and comprised the monitoring of the excavation of twelve total pits – eleven circular pits (for the interpretation panels) and one square pit (for the model plinth). These were spread out across the Abbey Gardens. Excavations revealed no structural remains. Several layers of demolition rubble were encountered below the level of the topsoil. These yielded four sherds of medieval pottery, and some worked stone, as well as pieces of post-medieval building material. This is consistent with the known post-Dissolution relandscaping of the Abbey Gardens. |
