Abstract: |
This report results from work undertaken by Archaeology Wales Ltd (AW) at CPM Development, Battlefield Road, Shrewsbury. It details the results of an archaeological watching brief, undertaken during the excavation of geotechnical trial pits, and a metal detecting survey. The soil sequence identified during the watching brief comprised a natural subsoil of heavy red clay and sand, overlaid by a mid brown clay subsoil, encountered below a mid brown silty clay ploughsoil and made ground. 31 finds were retrieved from the development site during the metal detector survey. All but one of these artefacts were ferrous items. Assessment of the finds assemblage suggests that they are all of later post-medieval or modern date. No artefacts or features relating to the Battle of Shrewsbury were identified. |
