Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in November 2013 across approximately 0.84 hectares of land off Froglands Lane, Cleeve Prior, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Brodie Manning acting on behalf of Mr Tony Farmer, who has proposed a residential development with associated infrastructure upon the site. Seven trenches, each of 30m length, were excavated across the site, which was considered to include known heritage assets and potential heritage assets. Across the excavated trenches, the archaeology observed suggested that this site occupies an area of Romano-British and earlier medieval activity in close proximity to, or perhaps including, small-scale rural settlement. This was later supplanted by the post-medieval agricultural landscape demonstrated by the ridge and furrow earthworks. The archaeological features revealed were generally heavily truncated, being very shallow and of insubstantial size, although larger boundary or enclosure ditches also exist. Artefacts recovered from the features were mainly of late Roman, medieval (particularly the 12th-13th century) and post-medieval date, being consistent with domestic waste material. Environmental evidence suggested that cereal crops of medieval origin were being stored and possibly processed in close proximity to this site. |
