Abstract: |
This report results from an archaeological watching brief undertaken during the excavation of cable trenches for a solar array at High Point Farm, Neen Sollars, Shropshire. The development site is located within two agricultural fields centred at NGR SO 66397 70949. The watching brief follows on from previous investigations to evaluate the archaeological potential of the site. A field evaluation was undertaken by Archaeology Wales in 2016. This comprised four trial trenches positioned to target anomalies identified from a geophysical survey in the same year by Lefort Geophysics. The trenched evaluation identified a feature of possible archaeological significance located some 0.9m below ground level in the northwest corner of Field 1 (Trench 3). This feature comprised a high-density spread of burnt material and heat effected stones; this deposit is characteristic of the remains of a prehistoric burnt mound. No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the watching brief undertaken in March 2017. Despite the negative results of the fieldwork, there remains a moderate potential for archaeological features to survive within the development site. |
