Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by DBK Ltd. to conduct an archaeological watching brief to monitor groundworks associated with the construction of a retail development on the site of the former Homebase store at Bath Road, Worcester, Worcestershire. The development is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 385228, 251972. Fieldwork was conducted between 31st of March and 1st April 2016. Areas impacted by the construction of a new loading bay in the northwest part of the site were stripped under archaeological supervision to the level of natural geology and no archaeological remains were encountered. The site appears to have been significantly levelled and this may have affected the survival of any archaeological remains. A further small trial hole was excavated in the northeast part of the site, which encountered natural geology at 0.3 m depth. It has been agreed with James Dinn, Archaeological Officer for Worcester City Council, that no further monitoring works are necessary. |
