Abstract: |
An archaeological borehole survey and topographical survey was undertaken at Plot 21, South Worcester, Norton Juxta Kempsey, Worcestershire (SO 8677 5115). They were commissioned by The Environmental Dimension Partnership (EDP), on behalf of their client, Welbeck Strategic Land LLP, who intends to undertake residential development, known as the South Worcester scheme, for which a planning application will be submitted to Malvern Hills District Council, Worcester City Council and Wychavon District Council. No evidence could be found to suggest that a medieval fish pond (WSM 41606) is present at the site and its interpretation as such (based on the field shape) is in error. A former water course runs north to south through the field. The course of this is still evident as a shallow hollow through the field. It is of natural origin with no evidence for later reworking, being a small tributary that fed into the Hatfield brook to the south. No datable evidence was noted to indicate when the current diversion of the watercourse around the edge of the field was undertaken. It could originally have been realigned in the medieval or post-medieval periods, and appears to have been done prior to the surveying for the tithe plan of 1839. The site is considered to be of low archaeological significance. |
