Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of land at Oak House barns, West Bromwich, Sandwell (centred on NGR SP 99782 90862) was undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology in October 2007. The evaluation took place in advance of proposed development and was sited to record the remains of 184-186 Oak Road, the probable former farmhouse that stood on the site until the 1970''s, and also to investigate any archaeological remains or deposits lying beneath the Grade III listed building. The evaluation identified evidence of probable 16th-17th century ceramic production in the form of fragmented pottery saggars and other internal kiln waste, adding to the weight of evidence gleaned from earlier archaeological investigations suggesting that pottery production occurred within the locality. Evidence of a structure predating 184-186 Oak Road and an undated stone structure, comprising of a north-south aligned wall, was also located. The evaluation was able to confirm the survival of remains of 184-186 Oak Road when deeply cut cellars were uncovered during excavation. |
