Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in February 2019 of land off Mill Lane, Malvern, Worcestershire (NGR SO 7964 4507). This involved excavation of ten trenches. It was commissioned by Orion Heritage Ltd on behalf of Countryside Properties (WPL) Ltd, in advance of a proposed residential development. A number of linear service pipes lay across the development area, associated with a sewage treatment works adjacent to the south-east. The trenches were therefore targeted on areas outside of this activity, specifically in relation to the proposed locations of new buildings. A small number of archaeological features were identified within the trenches. These were generally very shallow and all appeared to be related to agricultural land use. The small artefact assemblage is considered to have been introduced onto the site through this agricultural activity, dating mainly to the late medieval and post-medieval period. Two Roman artefacts were of interest, though both were residual finds and were highly-abraded. |
