Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on land at the corner of Lapley Lane and Starkey's Lane, Wheaton Aston, Staffordshire. It was undertaken on behalf of T Swift and Son, who intend to construct a new farmstead comprising two agricultural dwellings and a range of farm buildings for which a planning application has been submitted. Phase 1 was carried out by WA in 2016 and consisted of monitoring the topsoil strip for the construction of an access road and an agricultural dwelling. An interim report was submitted in 2016. Phase 2 was undertaken in August 2017 and involved monitoring the topsoil strip for the construction of a yard and farm buildings. A defined subsoil horizon was only partially present, as generally the topsoil overlay the sandy clay natural geology. No significant archaeological features were observed. Features relating to later post-medieval and modern ploughing and agricultural activity were noted. No artefacts pre-dating the modern period were recovered. There was no evidence of settlement or other activity relating to the adjacent Roman road. |
