Abstract: |
<summary>An area of derelict land at the junction of Kidderminster Road and Salwarpe Road was investigated on behalf of Wychavon District Council in advance of proposed development. The area is registered on the County Sites and Monuments Record as a site of archaeological interest (HWCM12215), being adjacent to, or the site of, a Roman settlement and cemetery. Three trenches were positioned to test the potential for a possible Roman road running east to west on the alignment of the Kidderminster Road. There was a possibility that deposits relating to ribbon development or a cemetery alongside the road would be encountered. In the event, however, the evaluation identified the presence of modern deposits only. In the mid 20th century a works or factory, described by the Ordnance Survey as a foundry, was built on the site. Its construction probably obliterated any trace of pre-existing archaeological deposits. {italon}Au(adp){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM12215 |
