Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on former pastoral Farm land. The evaluation took place in two fields, both of which are located up to 350 metres north -east of recently constructed offices on Fore Business Park on the South-east edge of Solihull, West Midlands (SP 14574 76165). Fifteen trenches were excavated; 13 of which were in a long rectangular field (field 1), and 2 further trenches located in a Country Park (field 2). The evaluation proved negative for any archaeological remains together with a complete lack of artefacts with exception to a few sherds of modern pottery. The ground was generally well drained onto gravel although field drains were located towards the North-west end of the site where the natural geology became more clayey. Faint evidence of furrows were located in a small number of trenches. |
