Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Romano-British features and artefacts had been recorded in the surrounding area, and a farm adjacent to the site was known to have existed by 1221 AD. In the wider environs of the study area, post-medieval industrial sites such as the Church Farm Colliery and the Shortwood Brick and Tile Works had been recorded. During the evaluation, 19th and 20th century field drains were recorded, industrial waste was noted, and demolition rubble of unknown date which may have represented the remains of a structure was revealed in the vicinity of the farm. Features along a former parish boundary were investigated, and it was found that recent enhancement in the form of topsoil dumping and the re-digging of ditches had taken place. Artefacts recovered were sparse, but included Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval pottery and two prehistoric worked flints. It was advised that development work near the farm should be monitored, but that further archaeological work would not be necessary elsewhere within the site. [AIP] |
