Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land off Hospital Lane, Collett's Green, Powick, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Pegasus Planning, acting on behalf of Selbourne Homes Ltd, in response to an archaeological brief following the submission of an outline planning application to Malvern Hills District Council for a residential development. The evaluation trenches have not identified any significant archaeological deposits or features within the development area. This supports the conclusions of previous archaeological work in the field. The site is known to have been used for modern landfill, with associated landscaping, as well as that previously occurring when the site was used as a borrow pit, which appears to have disturbed and affected the wider field. It is likely that any potential earlier archaeological deposits, if present, would have been removed. The artefactual material recovered is generally of poor condition, consistent with agricultural activity and modern landscaping across the site area, and does not indicate the presence of significant archaeological remains. The flint scraper is likely to be residual, and the possibility that the bulk of the assemblage originated elsewhere should be considered. Significant unenclosed middle Iron Age settlement activity has recently been identified around 200m to the west, but there was no indication that this extends into the current site area. |
