SUMMARY

Project Name: Charge House (internal): Structural Engineer review, Gunns Mill Location: Flaxley, Gloucestershire NGR: SO 6751 1594 Type: Evaluation Date: 26-27 May 2016 Location of Archive: To be deposited with Dean Heritage Centre Accession Number: SOYDH: 2016.12 Site Code: GUN 16

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2016 at Gunns Mill, Flaxley, Gloucestershire. Two trenches were excavated.

The evaluation revealed various surfaces, made-ground deposits and evidence of previous structural features, as well as a variation in the height of the natural substrate, suggesting historic terracing of the area to the north of the mill.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 In May 2016 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation for Forest of Dean Buildings Preservation Trust (FoDBPT) and Historic England (HE) at Gunns Mill, Flaxley, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR: SO 6751 1594; Fig. 1). The evaluation was undertaken for engineering purposes and aimed to determine the depth of the undisturbed natural soil horizon, and to record any archaeological deposits encountered during the investigation.

1.2 The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a brief (HE 2015) issued for the archaeological recording of the historic mill building, prepared by HE and with a subsequent detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2016a) and approved by Mel Barge, Inspector of Ancient Monuments, HE. The fieldwork also followed Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014).

The site

1.3 The site of Gunns Mill is located within the Forest of Dean, between Mitcheldean and Littledean, west of the village of Flaxley. The site had been used for agriculture in the earlier 20th century, but the former mill buildings now stand derelict. The site is enclosed to the east and south by woodland forming part of the Forest of Dean and to the west and north by farmland. The mill building was constructed against a steep slope, which forms part of the site. A tributary of the Westbury Brook runs through the site.

1.4 The underlying bedrock geology of the area is mapped as Brownstones Formation - Sandstone and Argillaceous Rocks of the Devonian Period, overlain by Alluvium of the Quaternary Period (BGS 2016). Probable natural substrate, comprising brownish red clay sand, was identified by hand augur in the base of Trench 2.

2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

2.1 The site has been the subject of much previous work, including a historical account (Demidowicz and Demidowicz 2001), Historical Building Surveys (Shoesmith 1988, CA 2015), dendrochronological analysis of timbers from the standing mill buildings (Howard et al. 2001), an archaeological watching brief on installation of scaffolding (GCCAS 2000), and the first phase of an archaeological evaluation and subsequent

watching brief (CA 2016b). The following section is a summary of the results of those works.

2.2 The industrial history of the site can be traced back as far as 1435, when a mill was first built on the tributary of the Westbury Brook. The site was occupied by a succession of corn and fulling mills, including that of the clothier William Gunn in 1596, from whom the modern name derives (Demidowicz and Demidowicz 2001, 6). In 1625 the ironworker John Winter established a blast furnace close to the mill and the name was transferred to the iron works. The iron works suffered a period of decline during the middle of the 17th century, however in the early 1680s, the furnace was renovated by new owners, Scudamore and Hall (Ibid.). The cast iron lintels carry the dates 1682 and 1683 and dendrochronology has revealed that the oak trees used for the beams of the superstructure adjoining (but not above) the furnace were felled in 1681-82 and thus formed part of the rebuild (Howard et al. 2001).

2.3 The blast furnace continued to be operational until about 1741, when it was turned into a paper mill by Joseph Lloyd. By the late 19th century the mill had become defunct and the buildings were used for agriculture.

2.4 The 17th century blast furnace (National Heritage List No. 1002080) and the Grade II* listed Gunns Mill building (National Heritage List No. 1186479) still occupy the site.

2.5 Recent work by the FoDBPT in August 2015 to clear an area of land slip next to the mill building revealed structural remains. An evaluation trench excavated across these structures and a subsequent watching brief revealed evidence of probable terracing and two walls on different alignments compared to the adjacent surviving walls of the mill, and these likely represent retaining walls at the bottom of an earthen dam (shown as Trenches 1, 4 and 5 on Fig. 2; CA 2016b).

3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

3.1 The objectives of the evaluation were to: • Understand the phasing of the structures • Understand the significance of the different elements of the buildings

4 © Cotswold Archaeology Gunns Mill, Flaxley, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation

• Provide information to inform the conservation, repair and reuse of the site • Provide information about the condition of the natural substrate to inform structural engineering analysis

4. METHODOLOGY

4.1 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of two trenches in the locations shown on the attached plan (Fig. 2). These measured 1.99m by 1m (Trench 2) and 3.2m by 1.2m (Trench 3). Both trenches were excavated within the Bridge House mill building itself, at ground floor level. Some deviation from the proposed trench locations was necessary due to standing structural elements and modern scaffolding, struts and supports within the building. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using existing geo-located plans and hand tapes. Levels were tied into a benchmark with a known height Above Ordnance Datum.

4.2 Both trenches were excavated completely by hand to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon or the natural substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where archaeological deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand and subsequently recorded in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual.

4.3 Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites and no deposits were identified that required sampling. All artefacts recovered were processed in accordance with Technical Manual 3 Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation.

4.4 The archive and artefacts from the evaluation are currently held by CA at their offices in Kemble. Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the artefacts will be deposited with the Dean Heritage Centre under accession number SOYDH: 2016.12, along with the site archive. A summary of information from this project, set out within Appendix D, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain.

5. RESULTS (FIGS 2 & 3)

5.1 This section provides an overview of the evaluation results; detailed summaries of the recorded contexts and finds are to be found in Appendices A and B respectively. Details of the relative heights of the principal deposits and features, expressed as metres Above Ordnance Datum (m AOD), appear in Appendix C.

Trench 2

5.2 Probable natural substrate 211, comprising brownish red clay sand, was identified by hand augur in the base of Trench 2, at approximately 0.75m below the existing ground level. It was sealed by a deposit of yellow puddled clay 210 which measured 0.1m in depth. One pebble was set into the upper surface of 210 and many other settings for pebbles, now removed, were visible in the form of small sub-circular indentations filled with the overlying deposit 209.

5.3 Deposit 209 measured 0.02m in depth and comprised dark grey black silty sand with rare charcoal and inclusions. It was sealed by surface 208, which measured 0.07m in depth, and consisted of a hard packed sand and mortar mix. This was sealed by mid-brown grey friable silty sand 207 which measured 0.03m in depth and appeared to derive from use of the underlying surface 208.

5.4 Deposit 207 was sealed by surface 206 which measured 0.05m in thickness and consisted of a compacted sand and mortar mix very similar to surface 209. A scar or former foundation cut, 205, measuring 0.03m in depth and at least 0.12m in width, lay at the south-eastern extent of Trench 2. The alignment of this feature, perpendicular to the eastern wall of the Bridge House/Blast Furnace, suggested it derived from the removal of an internal wall.

5.5 Surface 206 was sealed by two make-up deposits 204 and 203, levelling deposit 202 and the sub-base 201 for the existing concrete floor 200. Deposit 204 contained three sherds of post-medieval 18th or 19th-century transfer-printed wares. Deposit 201 contained modern glass, slag and lead.

Trench 3

5.6 A mortared stone rubble deposit, 306, was identified within a sondage in Trench 3 at a depth of 0.85m below the existing ground level. This deposit was bonded by a light

6 © Cotswold Archaeology Gunns Mill, Flaxley, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation

grey ashy mortar but with such a limited exposure, it was not possible to determine if 306 represented an in situ structure or a larger piece of rubble in a levelling/make-up deposit. It appeared to be covered by dark grey silty sand 305, which contained occasional charcoal or ashy inclusions, measuring at least 0.79m in depth.

5.7 Deposit 305 was sealed by a probable levelling layer 304, which measured a maximum of 0.08m thick and comprised worn flat pieces of sandstone and dark black grey silty sand. The stones were mostly laid flat, possibly representing a surface; however, there was a clear and steep slope downwards from north-east to south-west. It therefore seems more probable that 304 represented a levelling/stabilisation deposit. It was sealed by levelling layer 303 which measured 0.15m in depth and was very similar in composition to deposit 305. Deposit 303 contained one fragment of 16th or 17th-century window lead and one piece of slag.

5.8 Levelling deposit 302 sealed 303, and comprised broken and crushed mortar. It contained six fragments of 17th or 18th-century plaster (with some of the plaster showing wattle marks). Deposit 302 measured 0.42m in depth and butted the eastern wall of the Bridge House. It was sealed by the sub-base 301 for the existing concrete floor 300.

5.9 The base of Trench 3 was augured by hand, but this met an obstruction at 1.35m below the existing ground level.

6. THE FINDS

6.1 Artefactual material was hand-recovered from four deposits (made ground and levelling layers). The recovered material dates to the post-medieval and modern periods. Quantities of the artefact types recorded are given in Appendix B. The pottery has been recorded according to sherd count/weight per fabric. Pottery fabric codes are equated to the Gloucester pottery type series as defined by Vince (unpublished).

Pottery: Post-medieval/modern 6.2 Made ground layer 204 produced three sherds (33g) of pottery featuring transfer- printed decoration. The fabrics were Pearlware and refined whiteware, both of which

7 © Cotswold Archaeology Gunns Mill, Flaxley, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Evaluation

date to the late 18th to 19th centuries. The pottery was in good to very good condition.

Other finds 6.3 Two joining fragments from the base of a ‘poison’ bottle in cobalt blue coloured glass were retrieved from layer 201. This type of vessel was in use during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

6.4 Single fragments of window lead were recorded in layer 201 and levelling layer 303. Dating in the 16th or 17th centuries is most likely.

6.5 A fragment of post-medieval wall plaster was retrieved from levelling layer 302. The ‘finish coat’ measured 9mm in thickness and was lime-washed. The undercoat plaster featured lime and cinder inclusions, and retained impressions from horizontal wattles. It is likely to have derived from a timber-framed building or from an internal wall in a stone-built building. This construction type is dateable to the 17th to 18th centuries (P. Davenport, pers. comm).

7. DISCUSSION

7.1 The results of this evaluation indicate that the level of the natural substrate varies within the confines of the Bridge House/Blast Furnace floorplan, specifically between the locations of the two excavated trenches. Trench 2, located in the central north- west area of the building’s footprint, demonstrated that the natural substrate exists within this area at a level of 88.06m AOD, approximately 0.74m below existing floor level. It is likely that the mill building’s construction involved significant terracing of the slope to the north-west and that this part of the building is cut into this slope. Furthermore, despite Trench 3 (to the south-east of Trench 2) being excavated to a maximum depth of 87.43m AOD (1.35m below modern ground level), the natural was not observed within the trench and can be assumed to be lower or truncated in this area, as compared to Trench 2.

7.2 Within Trench 2, surfaces 206, 208 and 210 and possible construction cut 205 (probably representing a now defunct interior division) were identified, and likely relate to previous uses of Bridge House. However, no dating evidence was

recovered from these features and therefore accurately assigning them to the different phases of the building’s use is not possible at this stage.

7.3 The deposits identified within Trench 3 were predominantly interpreted as stabilisation/made-ground layers. These may feasibly have been deposited as a result of nearby industrial activity or from processing waste related to the Blast Furnace to the south. However, it is also possible that they represent construction make-up for earlier phases of the mill building, against the terraced slope to the north-west. The artefactual evidence recovered from these deposits is limited and the single dateable fragment of window lead, from the 16th or 17th century, may be residual and could have come from demolition or levelling works from a later date. No further surfaces or features (such as those in Trench 2) were identified within Trench 3.
