Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundworks at Church Terrace, Caverswall, Staffordshire. The Watching Brief was implemented because of the potential for archaeological remains on the site. The work was carried out by L - P : Archaeology. This report has been prepared by Rebecca Jones of L - P : Archaeology on behalf of Balfour Beatty. The first known recording of Caverswall is in the Domesday Survey of 1086, recorded as Cavreswelle. Valued at 30 shillings the village was an already established settlement by 1086 and was likely founded earlier. The objectives of the Watching Brief were to record the character, date, type, state of preservation and extent of any archaeological remains on site. To specifically identify any archaeological evidence of the Early Medieval - Post Medieval settlement of the village and to mitigate against any removal of the archaeological resource. No archaeological features were exposed within the limits of excavation. The stratigraphic sequence remained fairly consistent across the excavation which comprised a series of natural subsoil deposits overlain by gravel and tarmac. |
