Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by St Modwen Developments Ltd (hereafter 'the Client') to undertake an archaeological strip, map and sample on land off Centurion Way, west of Junction 10 of the M42, Tamworth, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 424006 300357 (hereafter 'the Site'). The proposals comprise industrial/warehouses/distribution development. A desk-based assessment (DBA) and geophysical survey (Wessex Archaeology 2013 and 2014) indicated the potential for below ground remains within the Site, including possible ditches/enclosures in the south-western part of Site. The strip, map and sample took place during general reduction across the Site, and during deeper excavation in advance of foundation, service trench and attenuation pond excavation. During excavation the presence of a field boundary ditch was confirmed and a stone land drain and stone quarry were uncovered. The upper fill of the quarry produced a small group of finds, comprising ceramic building material and pottery. |
