Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was undertaken on land off Evesham Road, Upper Moor, Pershore (NGR: SO 9762 4785; HER ref. WSM 32078), on behalf of RPS Consultants, for their client Simms and Wood Ltd. The project was completed in advance of construction of a vegetable washing and packing plant with associated water storage ponds, access and landscaping. A programme of evaluation and subsequent excavation and salvage recording at the site has provided important evidence of a late Roman settlement within an existing later prehistoric and Roman landscape. Two north-south aligned inhumation burials were also discovered, which are tentatively considered to be of a middle aged female and a younger adult male. Finally, there were two regimes of ridge and furrow evident on the site. |
