Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken on behalf of Mr Phil Taylor on land off Buckland Road, Childswickham, Worcestershire (NGR: SP 0721 3888; WSM 31935). The excavation identified a small number of post-medieval and modern features in the form od gullies, pits and postholes. The topsoil and subsoil were noted to be relatively shallow, indicating that the site may have undergone substantial disturbance. Cartographic evidence indicates that the site was part of a larger field, surrounded by orchards, prior to its development as a rear garden for Childswickham Inn in the late 19th century. There were no finds or features pre-dating the post-medieval period, even though it lies in an area where substantial prehistoric and Roman activity has been proven. However this has been found to be restricted largely to areas of free-draining sand and gravel, while clay predominates on the present site, and this may explain the absence of earlier settlement features in this part of Childswickham village. |
