Abstract: |
An archaeological borehole assessment was undertaken at land off the B4084, Norton, Worcestershire (National Grid Reference SO 8930 5096) as the site has been proposed as the location of a new Worcester Parkway railway station. It was commissioned by Worcestershire City Council (the Client). Six boreholes were sunk to a maximum depth of 5.00m below ground surface with no in situ archaeological or palaeoenvironmental remains or deposits being encountered. The sole material of archaeological interest were post-medieval artefacts including ceramic building material, glass, glazed pottery and clay pipe, which all lay disturbed upon the surface of the ploughed field. Overall, the depositional sequence was very shallow, with the natural Lias clay being encountered on average less than a metre below ground surface across the site. |
