Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land adjacent to Norton Farm Cottages, Harvington Lane, Norton, Evesham, Worcestershire (NGR SP 0474 4816). It was undertaken on behalf of Christian Haines, who intends to undertake residential development of the site, for which a planning application has been submitted. Thirteen trenches were excavated across the site, which is currently under orchard. A number of shallow ditches were identified and excavated across the site. None contained definitive dating evidence, although the fills of some appeared to indicate a recent date and all were indicative of low level agricultural use. Two pits were also recorded. The presence of a single charred grain of glume wheat in the first would indicate a pre-mid-Saxon date for the feature, although the assemblage of well-preserved cattle bones suggests a much later date. The second contained mixed burnt clay and charcoal, possibly representing a collapsed superstructure of a hearth. These features were otherwise also undated, but do not contradict the general agricultural use of the site. |
