Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Mr J. Bygott-Webb at Sodington Hall, Mamble, Worcestershire (NGR SO 6933 7100; SMR ref WSM40530), of groundworks associated with the construction of a two-storey extension on the east elevation and a single storey extension on the north elevation. The development lies within a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM31951) and is recorded on the County Historic Environment Record (WSM00759) as a site of archaeological significance. A programme of archaeological work was required to mitigate the impact of the development and Scheduled Monument Consent for the works was granted by the Department of Culture Media and Sport. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological deposits were present and if so to indicate their extent, state of preservation, date, type, vulnerability. The site has been occupied from the medieval period and possibly earlier and the development at Sodington Hall, Mamble has the potential to impact upon Medieval or later below-ground deposits. The majority of the site has been subject to alterations from the late nineteenth and twentieth century and this is reflected in the recorded deposits. Apart from brick footings and demolition rubble dating to the 19th and 20th century, a red brick well was the single feature uncovered. The dimensions of the bricks date to it to the late eighteenth-early nineteenth century. No significant archaeological features, deposits or artefacts of prehistoric, Roman or medieval date were identified during the watching brief. Nevertheless, the possibility remains that archaeological material or remains survive in areas adjacent to the site. |
