Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Mr P Tarran, E.ON UK Ltd/ Central Networks at Longmore Hill Farm, Astley, Worcestershire (NGR SO80376878; WSM 40808). The observation and recording of archaeological deposits was restricted to areas of ground disturbance associated with construction of new overhead power lines. Salvage recording on the Blackstone-Astley Aqueduct to the north west of the subject site in 1992 revealed a pit containing a large quantity of fragmentary beaker pottery, a flint scraper and nearly 300 flint spalls. No significant archaeological features, layers, horizons, or structures, or archaeological artefacts were identified during the project. However in some areas the trenches did not reach natural, so there remains the possibility that archaeological deposits survive in areas of the site not disturbed by the present development. |
