Abstract: |
The research has found that the site lies in an area of Palaeolithic potential based on local geologies and discoveries from the area, and in an area utilised during the Iron Age and Roman periods. During the medieval period, it lay in commonfields to the south-west of, and associated with, the medieval settlement of Kempsey. Three known cropmark sites, two thought to be Iron Age enclosures, are known from within the development site and these would need further archaeological mitigation should a development be proposed, either through avoidance by design, or additional archaeological work. There is also the possibility that as-yet unknown archaeological features may survive within the proposed development site, possibly associated with the Iron Age and Romano-British enclosure settlements known from the site and wider area. As the presence of such unknown remains is not currently quantifiable, it may be that further archaeological investigation work will be required, dependent on advice from Adrian Scruby, Historic Environment Planning Officer, Worcestershire Archives and Archaeology Service, Worcestershire County Council |
