Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting of land off Oldwood Road, Tenbury Well, Worcestershire ( SO 592 677; WSM 57555). The site, currently a pasture field, lies to the south-west of Tenbury Wells, on high ground above the flood plain of the River Teme, with potential for prehistoric and later settlement activity due to its location on a gravel river terrace. A geophysical survey of the site had identified anomalies which had the potential to represent archaeological features. Four trenches were located in the south of the site to test the presence and nature of these anomalies and determine their validity. No significant archaeological deposits, structures or artefacts were revealed. The only features and deposits found were 18th century stone land drains, a backfilled or silted up natural depression, an undated plough scar and two tree root bowls. There was no evidence for the possible enclosure tentatively identified through geophysical survey. Some of the anomalies noted in the survey may relate to the plough scar observed in Trench 4 and the land drains in Trenches 1 and 2. |
