Morriston Hospital Swansea Phases 1 & 2

Abstract

Alongside two construction phases between January and August 2009, Oxford Archaeology (OA) undertook an archaeological watching brief within the grounds of Morriston Hospital, Swansea, prior to the development of new parking facilities. Three areas were observed (Areas 1, 2 and 3). A linear field boundary was encountered in Area 1. Within the garden associated with the former Maes y Gwernen Hall (Area 2), landscaping and extant ornamental features were recorded. Area 3 had previously been impacted upon by the construction of the former parking facilities and helicopter landing pad and no archaeological or historical remains were recorded within this portion of the site.
