Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Hawford Grange Farm, Chatley Lane, Ombersley, Worcestershire (NGR: SO 8488 6028, SMR ref 37567). It was undertaken on behalf of Hawford Bridge Fishing Club,who intend to construct a new fish rearing/fishing lake for which a planning application has been submitted. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate what its location, date and nature were. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were excavated on the site. It seems likely that although there is evidence for prehistoric as well as Romano-British settlement to the north of the site, the study area was not utilised for settlement. The underlying drift geology of gravels to the north of the site was more conducive to settlement than the heavier clays underlying the site itself. However, the site was under cultivation by the medieval period and it is possible that cultivation was being carried out at an earlier date. |
