Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation was implemented, in advance of the development of agricultural land off Abbeyview Road, Pinvin. The works were carried out in accordance with Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) agreed by the archaeological advisor to Worcestershire County Council and entailed the excavation of eleven evaluation trenches over the area of the development footprint. The natural geology was identified in all trenches and appeared to change from gravelly clay-sand the northern extreme of the site, to a significantly less sandy matrix, falling away on a gentle slope, to the south. The remains of furrows, associated with a former system of ridge and furrow cultivation, were identified within all but the southernmost trenches. An undated linear feature, crossing Trench 11 on a northwest-southeast alignment appeared to represent a relict field boundary, its position visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945. A small posthole, adjacent to the former boundary ditch was thought to represent part of a possible associated fence line. |
