Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of Barratt West Midlands, to undertake an archaeological evaluation in support of a planning application for residential development at Tagwell Road, Droitwich, Worcestershire, NGR 39088 26139. Due to the archaeological potential of the Site, Mike Glyde of Worcestershire County Council (WCC) requested the excavation of eleven 50m trial trenches prior to the approval of planning permission. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were uncovered during the archaeological evaluation. The stratigraphy of the Site was turfed topsoil overlying substantial deposits of made ground over the north-eastern half of Site and natural clay in the trenches to the south-west. The level of the natural deposits varied greatly across the Site, and was indicative of landscaping prior to the importing of up to c. 2m of made ground. The absence of any archaeological features or residual finds indicated that the Site lay away from any areas of archaeological significance. Any low density of archaeological features would have been lost during landscaping for the M5. |
