Abstract: |
trial trenching Archaeological evaluation was carried out at land to the rear of 163 & 165
Birmingham Road, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire during July 2022 in advance of
residential development of the site comprising demolition of the existing
properties and construction of eight detached dwellings. The investigation
revealed a single undated and truncated post hole feature. Modern truncation
likely associated with landscaping activities and subsequent pitting was also
recorded within the same area. The west end of trench one and the remaining
three trenches revealed a stratigraphy of alternate layers comprising an undated
relict subsoil overlain by the modern topsoil. In trench three there is evidence of
ground consolidation resulting from redeposition. The results were largely
negative and recorded a stratigraphy indicating that the site unoccupied until its
development in the nineteenth century. The results of the investigation suggest
that archaeological deposits are unlikely to exist within the proposed development
area and that the construction of the new dwellings and associated services and
driveways will have no impact. |
