Abstract: |
Results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Wickham Farm, Wickhamford in Worcestershire, in advance of a proposed solar PV array. This is a landscape of very high archaeological potential, as previous fieldwork has identified a Romano-British settlement, including a villa-type structure(s) in the field immediately to the south. This survey, however, identified the clear signature of medieval ridge-and-furrow cultivation (surviving as earthworks on one part of the site) but only a small number of other features. These include a curving linear anomaly, a probable ditch, and three discrete features representing a possible pit, a possible natural feature and a possible burning event/pit. A modern service trench was identified along the route of the proposed cable trench. |
