Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Mr and Mrs Waites at 44, Main Street, Sedgeberrow, Worcestershire (NGR SP 02302 38484; HER ref. WSM 48242). The footings for a new extension were observed, and two test pits dug to ascertain the presence or absence of undisturbed soils and artefacts. No significant archaeological remains were revealed, nor were artefacts recovered predating the later post-medieval period. Disturbed or redeposited clays were observed directly over the natural clay which was further disturbed by a number of modern services. The construction of the present house and former extension appears to have involved the removal of soils, which would have truncated any shallow archaeological remains. The site lay within an undisturbed orchard through the 19th century and remained undeveloped prior to the construction of the present house in the latter half of the 20th century. Evidence of Romano-British and Saxon date has been found in the vicinity, so undisturbed areas of the site retain the potential for similar activity. |
