Abstract: |
Archaeological Attendance and Recording during groundworks was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on former pastoral land situated directly South of Ryknield House, Ryknield Street, Alrewas, Staffordshire (SK 17125 14134).The work was undertaken in advance of construction hard standing material (planning ref 16/00762/FUL).The site is located directly to the South of Alrewas village and 500 metres south-west of the National Memorial Arboretum. The site is bounded on the North-west side by the A38 dual carriageway, originally the course of Ryknield Street Roman Road. The South-east side is bounded by the Burton-on-Trent to Lichfield railway line with present hard standing to the North with fields to the South.Due to the nature of the hard standing material construction, the surface of the natural geology was not to be penetrated by any part of the development; rather the ground was to be built up on a permeable membrane over the undisturbed natural sand and gravel surface. Therefore there was no significant threat to any potential archaeological remains. The main object of the exercise was to ensure the methodology of the non-disturbance of natural sub-strata was adhered to. Observation of the groundworks showed no archaeological features and no artifactual evidence was recovered from the top soil. |
