Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Hints Quarry, Tamworth, Staffordshire (National Grid Reference SK 1600 0480; Figure 1). It was completed on behalf of Lafarge Tarmac, who intended to undertake site preparation works (topsoil/subsoil stripping) in advance of mineral extraction for which a planning permission has been granted by Staffordshire County Council (reference L.02/09/805-808 MW: Section 36) subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. No archaeological remains were encountered with the majority of the deposits encountered being a product of post-medieval and modern agricultural activity with the intensity of this activity being witnessed through the frequent presence of plough scoring which had truncated the upper surface of the underlying natural deposits. |
