Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Birmingham Archaeology in November 2004 at Shenstone Park, Park Lane, Little Hay, Lichfield, Staffordshire. The work was commissioned by R. and R. K. Bartlett as part of planning conditions laid down by Lichfield District Council. All groundworks associated with the construction of an agricultural storage building were monitored, as the development area lies within 50m of a Scheduled Ancient Monument (a 13th century moated manor house, SAM No. 22437 and HER No. PRN 01104). The site is also within what were the grounds to an 18th century manor house, close to the stable block which still survives and is Grade II listed (HER No. PRN 11630, Listed Building Volume No. 1908). No significant archaeology was recorded. The natural sand and gravel was located c.0.4m below ground level across the site, overlain by a modern yard surface. A small, undated posthole was noted in the east corner of the stripped area and a large pit probably associated with the farm was located in the north corner. An area of modern disturbance was also found in the pipe trench excavated around the edge of the stripped area, along with an earlier pit or ditch dated to the 16th-17th century. |
