Digital Archive from Conservation Mitigation Works, and a Fabric Survey at Cleeve Abbey, Washford, Watchet, Somerset, 1996-1998

This collection comprises CAD vector drawings, images, documents, and spreadsheet data from mitigation works and a fabric survey of Cleeve Abbey, Washford, Watchet, Somerset. The works were predominantly conducted by the then Central Archaeology Service (CAS) of English Heritage between October 1996 and August 1998. In 1996 a number of medieval tiles were stolen from the in situ pavements at Cleeve Abbey. Central Archaeology Service recorded the damage and assisted with conservation. Central Archaeology Service was further asked to conduct a watching brief during the removal of some tiles in the Chapter House, and their transport into safe storage, revealing a drystone wall. The confines of the watching brief test pit prevented the relationship of this structure with the southern wall of the chapter house being determined.
