Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Site 7, Egghill Redevelopment, Birmingham(NGR SO 9993 7876). The archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Galliford Try, at the instruction of CgMs Consulting, who intend to erect housing for which a planning consent has been granted with a pre-commencement condition attached requiring a programme of archaeological investigation. The site assessed was a stretch of an earthwork bund which lies on the eastern side of Frogmill Lane in the Egghill area of Birmingham. It was thought that the development had the potential to disturb deposits related to the line of a former stream which is known from map evidence to have run on the eastern boundary of the site. Three trenches were excavated and in each, the stratigraphy was similar. A buried soil horizon was excavated directly above the natural clay representing the ground surface before the bund was created after 1964 when Frogmill Road was laid out. Above the redeposited natural clays of the bund was a 21st century topsoil. No finds or features of archaeological interest were recorded. |
