Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in September and October 2016 at Foden Park, Streethay, Lichfield, Staffordshire. One hundred and five trenches were excavated across three fields. This was the second phase of evaluation trenching on site. A single posthole of potentially prehistoric date was recorded in the northern part of site and contained one large flint flake. Two intercutting discreet features were recorded in the north-eastern area of site, dating to the 1st century AD. The later of these features demonstrated evidence for in situ burning and contained four sherds of pottery and large quantities of charred cereal remains, potentially relating to crop drying processes. Undated postholes were also recorded in this area. A large, amorphous area of potential medieval extraction pitting was identified in the north-western area of site. A large quantity of 12th to 13th century pottery was recovered from the pits and their respective subsoil horizons. In the centre of site, evidence of post-medieval marl extraction was identified. Post-medieval field boundaries (correlating to boundaries visible on historic cartographic sources) were recorded across the evaluated area. |
