Stanton Drew ii Abstract Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society undertook geophysical and other surveys at the stone circles at Stanton Drew, Bath and North East Somerset (BANES), between May and September 2010, in collaboration with the BANES archaeologist, Richard Sermon. The surveys were intended to enhance the knowledge gained by the work carried out the previous year. The completion of a high data density magnetometer survey over the whole of Stone Close has added much extra detail, including a new henge entrance, posthole settings and an area of activity just outside the circle to the south-east. Use of resistance pseudosection profiles, together with an increased area of twin-probe resistance, has given a greater understanding of the underlying geology as well as sub-surface features. In the SSW Circle, an EDM survey has shown how the circle was positioned very deliberately to occupy the small flat plateau, with views northwards across the other circles towards the River Chew, westwards to the Cove, and across the valleys to the south and east.

  • BRAM Team Review 2020
    BRAM TEAM Review of 2019 – 2020 BRAM Team Report for Bath Group AGM – November 2020 BRAM Team installed 11 gates in the first 5 months of this reporting period, as well as 7 waymark posts, 6 bridge boards, 35 steps and some other sundry tasks. Oh! And we cleared about 900 metres of path. And then came “lockdown” … … So, we washed our hands, figured out how to do our shopping and went on our “daily exercise walks”. Meanwhile BRAM Shears & Secateurs Team members were allowed to continue monitoring and clearing of vegetation on their Promoted Routes provided it was within their daily walk from home. And then Ramblers’ Central Office withdrew insurance for that as well. … … Gradually the Shears & Secateurs Team were “allowed” to restart when they felt it was appropriate (some did, some didn’t) and I submitted a rather patchy “annual report” to BathNES Local Authority. In August we were “allowed” to re-start BRAM Team activities and we had to figure out how to work in a “Covid secure” way. This involves keeping a greater distance between team members than normal. So we have been doing LOTS more clearance (about 2300 metres in 3 months) and we have figured out a method of installing sign posts (9), steps (16), bridge boards (6), and stoned 5 metres of path whilst staying “distanced” from each other. We have not re-started gate installation again yet as that may involve working closer together (plus BathNES have run out of stock of gates). Our “annual get-together”, usually in October was cancelled and so the highlight of our year has been our Civic Reception at the Mayor’s Parlour in Bath in January.

    2011 Lake Odyssey was a Heritage Lottery Funded project exploring local history through the arts with a particular focus on the 1950’s, when Chew Valley Lake was made. This was a major local event. The town of Moreton was fl ooded to make way for a reservoir supplying water to South Bristol and the Queen visited the area to offi cially open and inaugurate the lake in 1956. The Lake Odyssey 2011 project gave pupils at Chew Valley School and their cluster of primary schools a chance to explore the history of their community in a fun and creative way. Pupils took part in various workshops throughout the spring and summer of 2011 to produce the content for the fi nal Lake Odyssey event day on Saturday 16th July 2011, which saw the local community come together for a day of celebration and performance at Chew Valley Lake. Balloon Launch The Lake Odyssey 2011 project offi cially launched on Friday 4th March with a balloon re- lease. Year seven and eight pupils released the balloons to mark and celebrate the occasion. A logo competition had been running within the primary cluster and Chew Valley School to fi nd a design for the Lake Odyssey logo. The winners were announced by Heritage Lottery representative Cherry Ann Knott. The lucky winners were Bea Tucker from East Harptree Pri- mary School and Hazel Stockwell-Cooke from Chew Valley School, whose designs featured in all publicity for the Lake Odyssey 2011 project. Bishop Sutton Songwriting Swallow class from Bishop Sutton Primary School took part in a song writing workshop, com- posing their own song from scratch with Leo Holloway.
