Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Thomas Vale Construction Plc at Ivy Lane, Bretforton, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0897 4454; HER ref. WSM 35080). Two trenches were excavated on the site. Within the northern half, Trench 1 revealed two small linear features, along with a single tree throw. One of the linears contained a single fragment of iron slag, arguably indicating a Roman or later date. The other linear and the tree throw were sterile and undated. On the west side, Trench 2 revealed two north-west/south-east aligned inter-cutting furrows. They contained occasional post-medieval material and represent traces of former agricultural activity. No other significant archaeological features were observed nor artefacts recovered, indicating that no substantial activity predating the post-medieval agricultural use of the site has occurred, either within the site itself or in the immediate vicinity. |
