Abstract: |
An evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Halcrow Ltd consultants for British Waterways client at land off Hanbury Road, Droitwich, Worcestershire county (NGR ref SO 9078 6332-SO 9162 6313); SMR ref 36102). Only a single archaeological pit was identified that at present is undated but truncates palaeochannel deposits from which palaeoenvironmental remains have been identified. The channels are thought to be former courses of the Body Brook and date to between Cal AD 10-140 and Cal AD 1280-1400. These contained plant macrofossils and pollen remains that suggested the landscape, during the time these channels were being filled, changed from open grassland to scrubby woodland. A further peat bog identified outside of the evaluated area also contained pollen that suggested an environment of open grassland. At present the latter deposit is undated. |
