Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Bushbury Hill Primary School, Old Fallings Lane, Bushbury, Wolverhampton (NGR: SJ 9268 0213). It was undertaken on behalf of Jacobs UK Ltd, whose client, Wolverhampton City Council (WCC) intends to demolish the existing school buildings and rebuild on an unoccupied grassed area to the south and southwest, as part of the Primary Capital Programme (PCP). The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological deposits or structures were present and if so to indicate their location, date and nature. The programme of archaeological investigation revealed the presence of two large buildings; one was the known Bushbury Hill farmhouse and associated out-buildings whilst the second was an earlier built structure constructed with large sandstone foundations that appears to represent an earlier phase of the farm which has been previously unknown. Whilst the site asa whole had been subject to at least two large scale landscaping episodes in the last 100 years, in-situ deposits were noted to survive under an average overburden of 0.45m. |
