Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Worcestershire Wildlife Trust of the Bow Brook Wetland Creation scheme, Grove Farm, Droitwich Road, Feckenham, Worcestershire, (NGR SP 0058 6023; HER ref WSM 49771). The work involved the excavation of an area to create wetland to attract wildlife. The topsoil strip was monitored. Residual finds dating to the 17th - 19th centuries, probably deposited during manuring of the fields were found in the topsoil. A sterile alluvial clay was observed at 0.30m below the current ground surface, over sands and gravels, above the natural marl. No significant archaeology was encountered during the works. |
