Summary

A.P.A.C. Ltd was commissioned by the Client to carry out an archaeological watching brief on land to the
rear of Westville, Undy (centred on National Grid Reference (NGR): ST 43389 86938).

A series of conjoined trenches were excavated to the rear and side of the property which revealed modern
intrusion and deliberate backfilling immediately surrounding the property and along the boundary line.
Within this disturbed material, residual Roman pottery was retrieved as well as possible building
material.

The remainder of the Site revealed a sequence of natural geological layers.

No undisturbed archaeological material was encountered within the development area.

Introduction

This report results from a condition: (3), to a planning application for a single-storey side and rear extension at
Westville, Main Road, Undy, Caldicot, Monmouthshire, NP26 3EH (hereafter the Site), centred on National Grid
Reference (NGR): ST 43389 86938. The planning application (DM/2019/01706) was made to Monmouthshire City
Council (hereafter MCC) by Mr T. Finnis of Mistral Architects & Surveyors, (hereafter the Agent) on behalf of the
owner.

Glamorgan Gwent Archaeological Trust (hereafter GGAT); advisors to MCC were consulted as part of this
application and confirmed that ‘the proposal would require archaeological mitigation’, MON/2409/HB by reason of
the position of the site within the Archaeologically Sensitive Area of the Gwent Levels, and previous archaeological
works in the area, have uncovered evidence from Prehistoric period habitation, Roman, Medieval and Post med.

As a result of the historical importance of the area GGAT advised:

‘It is considered that whilst the ground has previously been disturbed, there is still a high potential, as
previous archaeological investigations have shown, for disturbed archaeological remains and features
to be encountered during the proposed works’

MON/2409/HB

Following that advice, the planning application approval, condition 3 states:

‘No development shall take place until the applicant, their agents or successors in title, has secured
agreement for a written scheme of historic environment mitigation which shall be submitted to and
approved by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter, the programme of work will be fully carried out in
accordance with the requirements and standards of the written scheme’

‘Reason: To identify and record any features of archaeological interest discovered during the works, in
order to mitigate the impact of the works on the archaeological resource, in accordance with the
requirements of Technical Advice Note (TAN) 24: The Historic Environment (2017).’

DM/2019/01706

The required WSI was prepared by APAC, Ltd and sent, by way of the Agent, to MCC where it was approved in
March 2020. The watching brief was undertaken in June/July of 2020 during the intrusive groundworks associated
with the proposed development and were supervised and conducted by Simon Reames in June and July 2020. The
report was written by Simon Reames.

Location

The Site is located at the western extreme of Undy village which lies approximately 10km east of Newport and 4km
west of Caldicot, Gwent (Figure 1). NGR: 343389 186938

Topography and Geology

The Site occupies a predominantly rectangular parcel of land encompassing an area of approximately 241.54m² and
contains a gradual slope which lies at an elevation of 10m above Ordnance Datum (AOD) at the south-eastern extent
before falling to 8.9m aOD to the northwest. The Site is bounded to the northeast and southwest by neighbouring
residential structures, to the southeast by railway lines and to the northwest by the current Westville domestic
structure.

The underlying natural geology of the area comprises Black Rock Limestone (British Geological Survey, 2020) and
superficial deposits of clay bands.

Brief Archaeological and Historical Background

The origin of the name Undy is uncertain with various early references made to Mundi (c.1200) and Gwndi (c.
1566). The precise derivation of the Undy therefore is unclear, however, it maybe an amalgam of the Welsh words
Gwen (white) and Tŷ (house), the latter, possibly indicative of a holy place or abode (Owen & Morgan, 2007) cited
in (APAC.Ltd. WB2/UN2/16).

As stated above in the introduction above: GGAT, advised that the area has evidence of activity and even settlement
from prehistory to present. There is evidence for Roman settlement and activity within the area including: ‘an
inhumation discovered within a stone sarcophagus (05669g; 06232g; E002287; NMW: 96.27H/1, 96.27H/2)’ ‘a
second or third century cremation burial (11198g) and a Roman agricultural building (11197g)’… op. cit.
(APAC.Ltd).

St Mary’s Church, whilst rebuilt during the later nineteenth century, has surviving architectural elements suggesting
a thirteenth century construction phase but there is also in close proximity, ‘the remains of a possible medieval strip
field (06230g)…’ op. cit.
‘Post-Medieval buildings are known between Whitewall and Arch Farm (06231g) and a World War II Air Raid
Shelter (09574g; E003382) is also quite close’, op. cit.

Archaeological work in the area has noted a number of interventions producing no significant archaeological
material such as APAC Ltd, E000953 and Monmouth Archaeology, E006020, both at about 100m away;
however two exceptions were a LiDAR survey carried out by Wessex Archaeology in 2011 (E002680) where 50
new potential sites were identified and Monmouth Archaeology’s Watching Brief in which a possible Roman pit
and post-medieval wall were discovered (E003342) 38 meters to the east.

Map progression show no evidence of any structures as late as 1899 fig 02a with the area shown to be orchard.
The later 1918 revision published in 1922, 02b shows four pair of detached houses with front and back gardens:
fronting onto Main Road and rears backing onto the railway line.

Aims and Objectives

The aims of an archaeological watching brief, as defined by the Charted Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA, 2014)
are:

• To ensure that any buried remains located within the development area are fully investigated and recorded
if revealed as a consequence of the site works;
• To provide an opportunity for the archaeologists present to signal to all interested parties, before the
destruction of the material in question, that an archaeological fid has been made for which the resources of
the watching brief itself are not sufficient to support treatment to a satisfactory and proper standard;
• If such a find is made, representatives of both the client and the regional Development Control
Officer/County Archaeologist will be informed and a site meeting organised, as appropriate.

In accordance with the agreed Written Scheme of Investigation (A.P.A.C., 2020) the general aims of the watching
brief were to:

• Establish the presence/absence of archaeological structures or other significant features within the works
area;
• Elucidate the character, distribution, extent and importance of any identified archaeological deposits;
• Preserve by record, within the resources available, any archaeological deposits uncovered during
groundworks.

Methodology

All land within the boundaries of the Site were subjected to archaeological monitoring.

6
 A.P.A.C. Ltd Westville, Undy WB/WU/20

The land within the footprint of the development area was opened by a 1.5 tonne tracked mechanical excavator
fitted with a grading bucket. The overburden was excavated down, under constant archaeological supervision, to the
top of the archaeological horizon or undisturbed natural geology, whichever occurred first.

All spoil from the excavation was visually examined for artefacts.

A unique site code (WB/WU/20) was allocated for all aspects of the project archive produced as a result of the on-
site works. All recording was undertaken using A.P.A.C. Ltd’s pro forma recording system. Sections and plans
were drawn at recognised scales on drafting film as necessary. Digital photographs were taken in high resolution
Jpeg or RAW format before conversion to TIFF format for archival storage.

All work was carried out in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work act 1974 and the Management of Health
and Safety Regulations 1992.

Health and Safety considerations were of paramount importance in conducting all fieldwork. Safe working practises
overrode archaeological considerations at all times.

A risk assessment for the works was drawn up by A.P.A.C. Ltd and made available to all staff on site prior to the
commencement of the project.

Results

All structures are denotated with brackets { }, deposits with curved brackets ( ) surfaces with angled brackets < >
and cut with square brackets [ ].

The watching brief comprised monitoring of approximately 192.89m³ of ground reduction within the Site (Figure 3)
for the foundation trenches.

The on-site watching brief was conducted over a period of a six days.

The installation of a soakaway situated that the south-eastern extent of the site was abandoned after the initial
excavation revealed impermeable clays unsuitable for a soakaway. All storm water was routed into existing
drainage runs.

The existing mains sewer line bisected the central area of the development on an approximate northeast to southwest
alignment. In areas where the foundation trenches crossed the sewer pipe, the ground was excavated by a further
0.25m in depth, 0.5m to each side of the exposed pipe. This was in order for blockwork and a lintel to bridge over
the pipe.

Superficial geology (102) and (110), which consisted of impermeable clays, was encountered at a depth of 0.42m
beneath present day ground level (9.85m aOD) in the south-eastern extreme of the Site and at a depth of 0.35m
(8.87m aOD) across the centre of the Site (Figure 4).

Immediately above the superficial geology was subsoil (101) which extended the length and breadth of the Site and
measured, on average, 0.27m in depth. The final dig depth for the foundations of the development were reached
within this deposit immediately southwest of the current Westville property.

The north-eastern boundary of the development (Plate 1, Figure 5) revealed a sequence of deposits consisting of
deliberate dumps of redeposited material. No cut was apparent therefore deposit (106) immediately overlay subsoil
(101) and consisted of a silty-clay material interpreted as a mixed subsoil immediately redeposited around a modern
salt-glaze pipe. Deposit (106) also contained two pieces of shaped limestone as well as a single sherd of pottery.

Immediately succeeding deposit (106) was a mixed dump of consolidation material (107) followed by a band of
redeposited natural clays (108). Deposit (108) was truncated by service trench [112] which consisted of vertical,
7
 A.P.A.C. Ltd Westville, Undy WB/WU/20

straight sides and a flat base and ran on a northeast to southwest alignment. Cut [112] contained a single mixed
redeposited fill (113) around a modern salt-glazed pipe (Plate 2). This in turn was followed by a further dump of
material (109) used as a bedding layer for a salt-glazed pipe running on a southeast to northwest alignment down the
garden. Modern topsoil (100) overlay the pipe and extended across the width and length of the development.

Immediately southeast of the current house structure, subsoil layer (101) was truncated by the foundation cut for the
current property [111] (Plate 3). Cut [111] contained a deliberate dump of consolidation and levelling material
(103) followed by the present Westville domestic structure {104}. To the immediate southwest of property {104}
was a small concrete patio surface <105> which abutted structure {104}.

Finds

The watching brief produced a limited range of finds and a complete finds index of all artefacts retrieved during the
excavation is listed in Appendix 2

Ceramic

A total of 17 ceramic fragments were recovered during the watching brief; nine sherds from deposit (100), eight
from deposit (103) and a single sherd from deposit (106).

Deposits (100) and (103) contained modern pottery dating from the 19th to the 20th centuries.

Deposit (106) contained a single sherd of Black Burnished Ware dating to the Roman period.

Glass

A total of 22 glass fragments were retrieved during the watching brief. Deposit (100) contained four glass
fragments/bottles and deposit (103) contained 18 glass bottles.

All bottles were dated to between the 19th and 20th centuries.

Metal

A single metal artefact was retrieved from deposit (103) and was dated to the late 19th to early 20th century.

Bone

A single animal bone fragment was recovered from deposit (100).

Lithic

A total of two limestone pieces were recovered from deposit (106).

Finds Summary

The limited finds assemblage from Westville, Undy represents a predominantly modern date.

Of interest are the artefacts retrieved from deposit (106). The two limestone pieces are most probably construction
material although their primary purpose cannot be established.

The single Roman pottery sherd retrieved from the same deposit suggests a Roman presence within the vicinity.
The disturbed nature of deposit (106) and the presence of salt-glazed pipe confirm all artefacts within the deposit are
residual, however, it does confirm the presence of archaeological resources within the vicinity.

All finds were returned to the client.

Environmental

No material suitable for environmental analysis was demonstrated to be present within the impacted areas.

Conclusions

The watching brief undertaken at Westville, Undy was unsuccessful in identifying any in situ archaeological
remains within the development area.

The south-western extent of the Site consists predominantly of a thick subsoil (101) which overlies natural clays
(102)/(110).

The eastern boundary of the property revealed a sequence of deliberate backfills following previous groundworks
associated with the construction of the current Westville property. The earliest disturbed backfill (106) contained
potential worked building material and Roman ceramics however, given the disturbed nature of the layer, these
artefacts may not be contemporary however, this do indicate the potential for in situ archaeological resources within
the vicinity.

The area immediately southeast of the current Westville property revealed the foundations of the property are
bedded into subsoil (101) with a dump of modern consolidation material (103) used as a levelling deposit before the
current structure was constructed.

The final dig depth for the development, at its north-western extent, was located within subsoil layer (101) which
resulted in all archaeological features at a deeper depth remaining preserved in situ.

Archive

The archive will be prepared according to the Management of Archaeological Projects, English Heritage,
MoRPHE V1.2 (2015) so the records will be fully ordered and indexed. The project archives will consist of all
original records, and all documentation that relates to the watching brief; copies of the WSI and any relevant
correspondence will be included.

The original archive for the watching brief will be retained by A.P.A.C. Ltd.

A copy of the data archive will be deposited with RCAHMW within keeping with their published guidelines:
http://www.rcahmw.gov.uk/HI/ENG/Search+Records/Standards/Archive/

A further copy of the digital archive will be deposited with GGAT HER in keeping with their published guidelines:
http://www.GGAT.org.uk/her/downloads/Guidance%20for%20the%20Submission%20of%20Data%20to%20Welsh
%20HERs.pdf

The archives will be deposited within twelve months of the completion of the watching brief and with the
agreement of the landowner.

A synopsis of the project will be submitted to CBA Wales.
