Introduction
This collection comprises an archaeological evaluation report and site photographs from an archaeological evaluation carried out between June and July of 2020 in advance of a proposed erection of a new medical centre.
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land of Dunley Road, Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire (NGR SO 806750 708310). It was commissioned by Nick Smith on behalf of GB Partnerships in advance of a proposed erection of a new medical centre. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. A total of five trenches were excavated, totalling an area of c207 m2. The trenches were positioned to interrogate the area of proposed development whilst avoiding extant modern services and tree stumps. Three pits and a probable corn dryer were found in the central part of the site, and a cobbled surface in the south-western part of the site. Medieval pottery was retrieved from the pits and it is thought that they may represent medieval backplot activity. Environmental evidence indicates probable cereal processing and either transportation to or from this site. The cobbled surface, however, appears to be a later feature.
