Abstract: |
Archaeological Attendance and Recording during groundworks was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on park land, situated directly north of Kineton Lane, Blythe Valley Park, Blythe Gate, Solihull, West Midlands, SP 413620 274509. The work was undertaken in advance of residential and commercial development under Planning Ref: PL//2016/00863/MAOOT. Archaeological ground-works were required in two phases. Phase 1 was completed in April 18 (Areas 1 and 2) with Phase 2 (Area 2a) completed in July 2018. The areas were divided from the previous negative evaluation to the North by an east to west public footpath. Area 1 was in the form of a proposed east to west drainage ditch, and the larger area 2 representing the creation of two access roads forming a triangular top-soil strip directly north-west of Kineton Lane. With the exception of faint traces of north to south ridge and furrow continuing from the previous evaluation within Area 1, no archaeological remains were revealed with exception to a modern pit containing glass and brick and a shallow wide linear orientated roughly parallel with Kineton Lane but also containing modern pottery. There was generally minimal disturbance with exception to two deep gravel filled drains associated with a man hole crossing area 2. Additionally an existing north to south ditch parallel to a metalled Bridleway divided area 2. The ground appears built up during landscaping following the development of the existing Business Park to the East. The natural geology was generally clean and undisturbed with exception to plough scars. Area 2a, situated to the east of the footpath was stripped down to the natural substratum, but was found to be heavily truncated by tree roots and land drains. No archaeological remains were revealed in this area. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number 00228. |
