Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Allesborough Farm, Pershore, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Phoenix Consulting acting on behalf of Redrow Homes Ltd, who intends to construct 45 dwellings with associated infrastructure on the site and for which planning permission has been approved. Twelve trenches of varying size were excavated across the site area in order to assess the impact of the development programme on any potential heritage assets. Important and extensive prehistoric and Romano-British occupation is known to exist in the wider vicinity, but the evaluation established that any settlement and associated activity did not extend into this area. The archaeological remains identified were mainly of post-medieval and later origin, and suggested that the field has been in agricultural use for a substantial period. It is concluded that the site is of no archaeological significance and no further archaeological mitigation work is required |
