Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd carried out a watching brief at Fourwinds, Pershore, Worcestershire on behalf of GoMac Business Developments Ltd. The watching brief was carried as part of a planning condition (Planning reference W/08/1913) given for the redevelopment of the site. The redevelopment included the removal of an existing bungalow and services to allow for the construction of five houses with associated drainage works. The works revealed the presence of a rectangular pit [04] in the east of the site that dates to between the 18th and 19th century. Forty two sherds of pottery were recovered from the pit and these dated mostly to the 18th century. Two residual finds were also recovered. The earliest was a flint blade of prehistoric date but lacking any features to allow closer dating. The other was a sherd of local Worcester Ware cooking pot, dating to between the 12th and 14th century. Two post medieval wells that appear on the 1885 ordnance survey first edition were also revealed at the north of the site. |
