Abstract: |
In June 2015, Archaeology Wales (AW) undertook a Watching Brief during groundworks associated with the refurbishment of 3, The Square, Church Stretton, Shropshire. The development area comprised a rectangular building consisting of three bays, aligned north to south, parallel to, and east of, the eastern edge of The Square. The building measures 12.0m long by 4.5m wide.The Watching Brief monitoring was undertaken during June 2015. No archaeologically significant features, deposits or finds were identified. A mixed soil/rubble deposit was identified below the floor slab in all three of the areas investigated (the three bays of the building). In all three areas this overlay a natural deposit comprised of clay, silt and shale. The soil/rubble deposit was probably used to level the internal area of the outbuilding and appears to have deposited after an episode of ground truncation that exposed or cut into the natural ground surface. It is probable that this truncation was contemporary with the construction of the outbuilding. |
