Abstract: |
Tetratech Limited commissioned Allen Archaeology Limited to undertake an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching as a condition of planning consent for a residential development on land off Wellhead Lane, Perry Barr, Birmingham. The site is located in an area of archaeological interest, with a Roman road, Ryknild Street, believed to pass through the site. This hypothesis is based upon investigations to the north of the application site, where the Roman road has been revealed, along with post-medieval gullies. To the south of the application area have been found brick foundations, believed to be part of a former switchgear works.Eight trenches were excavated across the proposed development area. Eight trenches were excavated across the proposed development area. No archaeological finds or features were identified. There was no evidence for the continuation of Ryknild Street across the site. The results suggest a negligible archaeological potential for the proposed development area. |
