Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting within the car park and beer garden of the former The Royal Oak pub, Hallow, Worcestershire (NGR: SO 82687 58408).Three trenches, each 10m long, were excavated. Within the beer garden to the south of the pub building, the demolished remains of a cottage which is known to have stood on the corner of the main street and Shoulton Lane until the mid 20th Century were recorded. These comprised a fragment of brick floor surface and a truncated wall construction cut. It is thought that demolition material from the cottage was used to level this area, possibly for the creation of the beer garden. Within the car park to the west of the pub building a single square posthole was recorded on the line of a former boundary of the site depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition Ordnance survey maps. Within this trench and a third to the north west of the pub a considerable amount of imported post medieval material had been deposited over a topsoil horizon. This is thought to have been brought in to level the ground which formerly dropped to the west toward a small watercourse, possibly prior to the construction of the car park. |
