Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2008 at the request of CEMEX UK Operations Ltd at Rugeley Quarry, Rugeley, Staffordshire. Three trenches were excavated across the lines of two possible banks associated with Wolseley Park, which was created as a deerpark at the end of the 15th Century. The evaluation demonstrated that one of the banks survives as an earthwork, with an adjacent ditch along part of its length. The other bank does not survive as an earthwork, but is visible below the subsoil. No dating evidence was recovered during the evaluation, but the form and location of the boundaries is consistent with them having formed part of the Wolseley Park deerpark. |
