Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment of a proposal to develop a site at the Abbey Car Park, Shrewsbury, Shropshire noted that the proposed development site lay within land occupied in the medieval period by fishponds belonging to Shrewsbury Abbey; in the later post medieval period the land was occupied by the remnant of these pools, a partly culverted mill race belonging to the Abbey Mill, and by yards forming part of the Midland Railway Carriage and Wagon Works and the Abbey Station. The assessment suggested that archaeological features and deposits dating back to the medieval period may survive on part of the site, and recommended that further field evaluation in the form of trial excavation be carried out in order to assess the survival, nature, and significance of these remains and to formulate any mitigation strategy. |
