A 16th-century saltworks at Port Eynon, Gower
The remains of a saltworks, in operation from c. 1550-c. 1650, were investigated at Port Eynon, near Swansea, in response to the threat of marine erosion. The site is an early example of salt production by the open-pan method. In the 17th century, a fortified extension was added, with a series of musket loops. The buildings were later converted into a dwelling, and were finally abandoned in the 1870s. A simple wooden lift pump was found in the wa…
The effectiveness of dowsing as a method of determining the nature and location of buried features on historic garden sites
Following the suggestion that dowsing be used as a method of non-intrusive survey on garden sites, an evaluation exercise, to assess the technique, was devised, using the site of Castle Bromwich Hall. The results showed that dowsing could locate buried metal features, but performed poorly at identifying soil-filled features. There were also dowsing anomalies that could not be correlated with any buried feature. It is concluded that the technique,…
Excavations at Hen Gastell, Briton Ferry, West Glamorgan, 1991–92
EXCAVATIONS on the summit of a prominent hill overlooking the river Neath revealed evidence for high status occupation from the 6th century to the 10th century, based on the finds of imported pottery and glass. A subsequent reoccupation in the later 12th century has also been identified
Excavations at Castle Bromwich Hall gardens 1989–91
Research excavations were undertaken over three seasons at Castle Bromwich Hall (1989-91) as part of a larger project to test the application of archaeology to the restoration of historic gardens. This report deals with the results of the excavations.At least four main phases of garden design were discovered, overlying evidence for an earlier medieval demesne establishment. The earliest gardens probably dated from the 16th or early 17th century, …
Chemical changes in buried animal bone
Macroscopic chemical analysis of animal bone recovered from dated excavation contexts of known pH from Castle Bromwich Hall, West Midlands, UK, allows an assessment of the rate and effects of bone decomposition, and the evaluation of current models of chemical decay. The results show great variation, and it is suggested that factors such as mechanical disturbance have a more significant effect on the differential destruction of excavated bone ass…
