Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of residential development of land to the north-west of Hanwood Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire (hereafter named 'the Site') centred on NGR SJ 46900 11600. Previous work for an adjacent site (CgMs 2010) and geophysical survey indicated the potential for medieval activity across the Site. Following discussions with Andy Wigley of Shropshire County Council, and Cathy Patrick of CgMs, a 2% targeted trenched evaluation was proposed prior to development. In all trenches, natural clay deposits were overlain by topsoil. The natural geology was typically described as an orange silty clay, and the topsoil as a greyish brown clayey silt. Topsoil depth varied between 0.28m and 0.60m, with a mean of 0.42m. A north-east/south-west aligned earthwork visible on the surface and corresponding to a geophysical anomaly, was identified as a drainage channel in Trench 5, draining downslope to the north. Furrows were identified in Trenches 7, 8, 10, and 11. No other archaeological features or archaeologically significant stratified finds were identified or recovered.
