Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation, consisting of two trial trenches, was carried prior to the construction of a new dwelling with associated parking provision and detached outbuilding on land to the north of Brand Lane, Ludlow, Shropshire. The archaeological evaluation at Brand Lane, Ludlow produced post-medieval archaeological remains and artefacts however these were considered to be of low significance in relation to the anticipated potential of the site within the historic centre of Ludlow. The site appeared to have been backfilled and levelled with mixed overburden consisting of modern coarse building materials; both the excavation of trench 1 and trench 2 revealed that the ground level had undulated quite severely at some point in the past as evidenced in the stratigraphy. Trench 2, close to Brand Lane, produced the archaeological remains of a brick ornamental planter that appears to correspond with a formal garden depicted on the Ordnance Survey Ludlow Town Plan of 1885. This planter had been partially constructed upon a stone wall that ran from west to east before turning north and continuing beyond the limit of excavation. This wall corresponds with the garden wall of the former bank depicted on the 1835 Plan of Ludlow, which was moved further to the west by the production of the 1862 map. To the immediate east of the stone garden wall a refuse pit was uncovered which produced Victorian ceramics and oyster shells. |
