| Abstract: |
(Following a desktop assessment and initial field survey on ì\nbehalf of the Department of Transport on the route of the ì\nproposed new road between Evesham and Alcester, seven possible ì\nsites (A - G) were identified that would be affected by the road ì\nconstruction and where evaluation work was necessary [AIP record: ì\nB.80.0001]. The evaluations, which were carried out between December ì\n1992 and August 1993, involved a programme of geophysical ì\nsurvey carried out by Geophysical Surveys of Bradford (Report No ì\n92/105), intensive fieldwalking and trial trenching\n[AIP records: C.80.0001 - 0007].)\n\nAt Marsh Farm, Salford Priors (Site C), geophysical survey was ì\ncarried out and 29 trial trenches were excavated in a strip along ì\nthe east side of an extensive cropmark site (WA 1499), part of ì\nwhich is a Scheduled Monument (Warwickshire No 162; presumed to ì\nbe Roman). Excavations on an unscheduled part of this cropmark ì\ncomplex, in Marsh Farm Quarry, had revealed late Iron Age / early Roman ì\nsettlement [AIP cross ref: ?]. The evaluation trenches identified ì\nthree foci within the complex: at the south end there was an ì\nundated large enclosure containing a surface scatter of Neolithic ì\nflintwork; in the middle, adjacent to the scheduled area, there ì\nwas extensive 2nd-4th century Roman occupation belonging to a ì\nvilla whose centre appears to lie within the scheduled area; and ì\nto the north there was an enclosure with some material dating to ì\nthe late Iron Age / early Roman period, which related to features ì\nof this date excavated in the quarry. |
