Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Chadwich Manor House, Redhill Lane, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (NGR SO 97390 76075; WSM 49628). The investigations comprised the observation of a linear service pipe trench and a discrete square excavation for a septic tank. No significant archaeological horizons, structures, layers or deposits were recorded. Artefacts noted during the investigations were all of later post-medieval and modern date, and comprised very occasional building debris and a single 18th century Staffordshire ware pottery sherd. The spread of slag and ash noted within the topsoil is considered to relate to a tennis court which is understood to have occupied this part of the garden in the 1930s (pers. comm. Peter Dyer). Though a significant potential for remains dating from the medieval period was identified, no medieval activity was seen within the observed areas. The lack of the presence of the medieval village in such close proximity to the south of the remains of St Stephens chapel does suggest its presence could lie to the west of the chapel as to its north and east are medieval fish ponds, though this hypothesis remains untested. Though no other activity of this period was recognised, the area observed was relatively small, therefore it is possible that archaeological remains could extend within other areas of the site. |
