Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting at Alrewas Surgery, Exchange Road, Alrewas, Staffordshire (NGR ref SK 17325 15063; HER ref ASER12). Excavations for the footing for the surgery extension were observed, but only modern deposits directly overlying the natural geology were noted. These deposits consisted of modern made ground associated with the construction the existing surgery in the later part of the 20th century. Below this was a thick deposit of 'garden soil' which contained 18th and 19th century pottery. The absence of any buried soil horizon below these deposits suggests that the area had been landscaped some time in the early 19th century. Deeper archaeological deposits may remain in the vicinity, although none were observed within the limited scope of this project. |
