Abstract: |
An Archaeological watching brief was undertaken of the groundworks associated with the construction of three houses at land to the west of Tanhouse Lane, Redditch, Worcestershire. (NGR SP 0634 6909, HER ref WSM48210). The foundations of one house plot were observed but due to the proximity of deep rooted trees, very deep excavations were required into natural deposits and the pace of groundworks was consequently slow. It was therefore agreed with the Historic Environment Planning Archaeologist that two areas, each measuring 6m x 3m within the two remaining plots should be stripped of topsoil under archaeological supervision. The foundations trenches and stripped areas revealed between 0.42-0.55m of subsoil above a clay/marl undisturbed natural deposit. Dark silty clay below the subsoil was observed within the south west corner of site but no datable evidence was recovered from this deposit. No significant archaeological features were observed. |
