Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was undertaken at Grange Farm, Honeybourne, Worcestershire (NGR SP1163143747). It was undertaken on behalf of Ian Davies of Taylor Wimpey who have obtained planning permission for residential development of the site from Wychavon District Council. The site lies to the south of the village of Honeybourne between High Street to the west and Weston Road to the east, which follows the approximate line of Roman Riknild Street. A desk-based assessment of the site was carried out prior to the application which identified a high potential for the survival of archaeological features of Roman date due to the proximity of this road of archaeological features of medieval date was also identified due to proximity of the village High Street. A subsequent geophysical survey identified sinuous linear anomalies in the southern part of the site thought to represent cultivation furrows In the northern and southern parts of the site a range of generally weak linear and discrete anomalies of potential archaeological origin were recorded as well as areas of magnetic debris interpreted as of recent origin. Following this an archaeological evaluation of the site was undertaken. This identified the remains of cultivation furrows in the southern part of the site whilst in the northern part of the site a feature made of closely packed stone was associated with six fragments of Roman roof tile. This was thought to be a post-medieval drainage feature, although it was noted that the tile fragments might suggest the presence of a building in the vicinity. |
