Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at The Black Shed, Broadway Lane, Fladbury, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9936 4603). It was undertaken on behalf of William Bedford of CgMs Consulting. Planning permission has been granted by Wychavon District Council for demolition of an existing building and the construction of a residential development of 18 dwellings, with associated landscaping and infrastructure works at land off Broadway Lane, Fladbury, Worcestershire (reference number W/14/2400). Fladbury is a village in the Vale of Evesham on the west bank of the River Avon. To the west of the village a series of elongated enclosures, possibly cursi have been recorded as cropmarks. Similar examples excavated in Warwickshire have been Neolithic in date. The village has Saxon origins, being the site of a Minster and Saxon settlement remains have been excavated within the village. Parts of a Roman cemetery have also been excavated and a Roman occupation site was recorded during a watching brief. The site comprises part of a field on the eastern side of Broadway Lane which enters the village from the south west. The river is 300m distant at this point. The Black Shed is an irregular agricultural building built of corrugated iron which stands on the frontage to the lane. Four trenches were opened in the footprint of the proposed development. Five small pits were recorded across three of the trenches and sections were excavated across them. No finds or dateable material was retrieved and it is concluded that the pits are agricultural or horticultural in origin probably relating to a large orchard depicted in this area on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. No significant archaeology was observed during the works. It is concluded that neither the complex recorded to the west of the village or activity associated with the river corridor extend into the site. |
