Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the Environment Agency at Badsey Brook, Broadway, Worcestershire (NGR SP 09043 37267; HER ref. WSM 49791). Whilst no features were discovered during the excavation of the trial holes, the presence of prehistoric flint, Roman and medieval pottery in the plough soil indicates either ploughed out low level activity on this site or may be the result of accidental deposition from occupation in the vicinity through manuring activity. Indeed, the nature of the archaeology drawn from the cropmarks and aerial photography listed in the HER lends itself to low density remains, being a series of late prehistoric or Roman field boundaries. To discover such a feature in a sample size of less than half a percent would be fortuitous. The potential for archaeological deposits to exist across the site therefore remains high. |
