This Rapid Appraisal of a water mains renewal scheme extending for 220m along Old Coach Road through the village of Cross (Somerset), approximately 0.7km W of Axbridge, has been undertaken in response to a request from Bristol Water in advance of engineering works. This Rapid Appraisal constitutes a rapid trawl of archaeological databases and other readily available sources of historical and archaeological information (where deemed appropriate) to identify whether a proposal has a potential archaeological dimension requiring further clarification.
