Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the South Worcester Development, Kempsey, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8612 5140). It was commissioned by The Environmental Dimension Partnership, on behalf of their client, Welbeck Strategic Land LLP, who intends to undertake residential development of the area for which a planning application will be submitted to Malvern Hills District Council, Wychavon District Council and Worcester City Council. The investigations revealed that the believed route of the main Romano-British road between Worcester (Vertis) and Gloucester (Glevum), based on map regression and cropmarks, was accurate, although the preservation of the road varied greatly across site due to later farming practices. The overall state of the road as observed in five trenches would suggest that it had been little more than a gravel track when first constructed and used. The previous geophysical survey indicated that it appeared to be more substantial, with ditches either side. This was however not found to be the case. |
