Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Amey PLC to carry out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on the excavation of seven geotechnical test pits (centred on NGR SO 97200 78800) associated with the Birmingham Resilience Scheme. Excavation of the seven test pits revealed only made ground of modern origin and natural deposits. No artefacts were collected, with the only finds observed being modern in date. First Edition Ordnance Survey mapping indicates that four of the test pits were located within or close to a former quarry. In these cases, the made ground may have been deposited to level out the site of the quarry. The narrow width and hazardous depth of the test pits hindered the close examination that probably would have been required to identify any archaeological features of diffuse or subtle appearance. However, in the absence of any artefacts or conspicuous deposits, one can be largely confident that the monitored development has not led to any impact on the archaeological resource. |
