Abstract: |
An archaeological borehole survey was undertaken at Blackgreves Farm, Wythall, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0658 7547). The borehole survey and subsequent environmental assessment were undertaken on behalf of David Symonds Associates representing Bournville Village Trust in response to potential intrusive works occurring on the site. The site is a scheduled monument (SM 30013) scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 considered to include a heritage asset with archaeological interest (HA 1017804). Three pairs of boreholes were sunk for geotechnical and archaeological purposes; the latter remained sealed and were taken off site for geoarchaeological and environmental assessment. No significant remains of archaeological, palaeoenvironmental or geoarchaeological significance were identified during the fieldwork or the subsequent assessment. Strata from the borehole cores comprise almost in their entirety weathered and reworked Triassic strata deposited during the Pleistocene as an alluvial fan. The sole potential archaeological feature identified during the works was a possible bank deposit in Borehole 1 although the ceramic building material recovered from this deposit suggests that the deposit is of post-medieval origin or has been disturbed by later intrusive activity. |
