Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was instructed by John Needham Associates Broad Street Ludlow Shropshire to undertake a limited programme of archaeological field evaluation with respect to the proposed construction of a single four-bed dwelling with garage and car lift on land to the north of Granary Steps (NGR: SO 71819 93346) (Planning Ref. 15/05277/FUL). The limited extent of the work reflects substantial Health and Safety and access constraints associated with this site. Three small test pits, each measuring 1.00m × 1.00m, were excavated by hand to assess the survival of any archaeological features, structures or deposits present. Each pit was excavated to the natural geology or to a working depth not exceeding c. 1.00m. Each pit contained materials in both topsoil and subsoil associated with structural clearance; however, no distinct archaeological deposits were present. With the exception of Pit 1, which reached bedrock, the pits did not exceed the depth of subsoil and clearance waste due to Health and Safety restrictions. It is likely this material was associated either with the clearance of the land in the late 1940s (when Rock House, the post-medieval house formerly occupying the site, was demolished) or with activity relating to construction of the Severn Valley Railway tunnel in 1862, which runs directly beneath the site.
