Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching on land to the rear of 111 - 113 Corve Street, Ludlow in Shropshire. The work was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential retirement development (Planning Ref: 16/02033/FUL). The development has been granted planning permission subject to the fulfilling of planning conditions, with the archaeological investigation of the site fulfilling condition 16 of planning consent. The site has not previously been the subject of a desk-based assessment. A Heritage Statement was prepared to support the planning application. This initial desk-based work indicated a moderate potential for archaeological remains dating to the Medieval period, with the site occupying a position within the Medieval town, on the main northern arterial route and is located within a group of burgage plots which have 12th century origins. Following on from this research work, Hugh Hannaford, Senior Archaeological Advisor to Shropshire Council advised that a programme of archaeological evaluation was required to provide sufficient information on which to determine the application and inform the scope and need for any further archaeological work. The archaeological works comprised the excavation of two trenches within the footprint of the proposed development, each trench measuring 20 m by 2 m. |
