Abstract:
An evaluation by sample trenching and test-pitting of a site in school grounds, divided by the embankment of the dismantled Axbridge-Wells railway line. The site lies adjacent to a well-known Saxon palace complex (SAM 305),a Medieval chapel and cropmarks (possibly of a villa). Geophysical work had previously been undertaken on the site. Excavation located a late Romano-British ditch and cobbled surface.
