Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Mr and Mrs Thomassen-Telle, at Bowery Lodge, Main Street, South Littleton, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0759 4619). Four trenches were excavated, amounting to just under 100m². No significant archaeological features, layers, structures or deposits were identified, nor artefacts revealed. A small number of later 19th and 20th century features were recorded, including postholes which defined a fence line in the south-western part of the site; a well, pits and a concrete driveway in the north-eastern part. The eastern part of the site had been truncated during construction of the former bungalow, into the natural lias, removing all but the deepest potential archaeological remains. No evidence was found for the Romano-British trackway, which was conjectured to cut through the south-west corner of the site. It is now considered to lie to the east of the site. An accumulation of up to 1m of humic soils in the north-west corner is considered to be the result of deliberate dumping to level off the natural slope across the site. It is undated although probably dates to after the site was part of a larger field which contained an orchard from the later 19th century until the 1950/60s. |
