Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during January 2018 at Rosehill, 4 Priory Road, Alcester, Warwickshire to support an application for alterations and ancillary works at the premises including the construction of two rear extensions. The work was carried out following a desk based assessment which demonstrated a high probability of Roman remains related to the C1-C2 AD extra-mural settlement to the south and west of the walled town of Alcester being located within the site. Deposits associated with C1-C2 Roman occupation, some possibly structural in nature, were recorded and observed extending into the area of the existing property. The orientation of these remains suggests a pattern of settlement possibly influenced by an undated, but probable gravel yard or road surface situated on a similar north-east to south-west alignment within the centre of the study site. A lack of later finds suggests that occupation did not continue after the C1-C2 AD. Instead Roman deposits are sealed by a thick homogenous layer of relict subsoil probably accumulated by continued manuring associated with cultivation activities during the medieval and post-medieval periods. |
