Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at the instruction of CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client, NEC Homes, at 45a, Park Road, Bloxwich (NGR: SJ 998 024; BCSMR ref. EBM 836). No significant archaeological features, layers, horizons, structures, or archaeological artefacts were identified during the project. The area stripped toward the front of the site was only dug to a depth of 0.10m through modern made ground and revealed no earlier deposits. Trenches 1 and 2 were observed toward the rear of the site. The former identified buried subsoil levels and the natural matrix at a depth of 1.19m. Trench 2 was dug to 0.60m depth, revealing only made ground with brick fragments and occasional 19th/20th century debris. The finds consisted of a fragment of industrial slag and a corroded iron object, which may be a fragment of a tool such as a metal working file. Both artefacts probably date from the 19th or 20th century. |
