EXCAVATION AT ASHTON COURT,  BRISTOL JUNE/JULY 2019

In June/July 2019 we conducted an excavation on the front lawn of Ashton Court, Bristol. Parch marks and geophysics suggested that a series of buildings were located under the front lawn. Whilst looking for the wing of the mansion that was demolished in the late 18th century, and referred to as the stables, we uncovered what may be an unknown building with a cellar.  Standing masonry of over 1m and a well-laid stone floor suggests a building of at least 17th century in date.  We worked with the Historic England Heritage Schools programme to welcome 6 schools from Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare on site. They worked on the archaeology and conducted activities in the mansion with Artspace Lifespace to engage with the heritage of the site.  We also welcomed the first Bristol museum Introduction to Archaeology course and the Bristol and Bath Young Archaeologists Club.
