Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Land off Worcester Road, Wychbold, Worcestershire (NGR SO 92026 65893). The archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Taylor Wimpey Midlands, who intend to apply for planning permission to develop the site for residential use. An archaeological desk-based assessment identified a potential for the preservation of archaeological remains within the site due to the presence of a Roman road, immediately east of the site and other prehistoric, Roman and Medieval features in the area and recommended further intervention. Further assessment of the site was carried out in two stages, geophysical survey followed by archaeological evaluation by trial trenching. The geophysical survey identified furrows, the remains of medieval or post medieval strip field agriculture crossing the northern part of the site. Evaluation confirmed the existence of the furrows as well as a layer of colluvium to the west of the site and a post-medieval buried soil horizon. One abraded sherd of Roman pottery and a fragment of smithing slag were recovered from later contexts but no significant archaeological features were identified within the site. |
