Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken Little Acre, Worcester Road, Broomhall, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8529 5082). It was commissioned by Procuro Planning Services Ltd, on behalf of Mr and Mrs Malpass, in advance of a proposed residential development within existing residential curtilage. The site lies on a gravel terrace above the floodplain of the River Severn, which predisposes the site to settlement during the prehistoric and Roman periods. The survival of buried archaeological remains of these periods, including an enclosure and a road had been identified in archaeological investigations in a field to the north of the proposed site. Two trenches were excavated on the proposed development site. No significant archaeological features, structures, layers or deposits, nor artefacts were identified during the project. A pit and garden soil were identified in the eastern part of the site but both yielded modern pottery and were probably associated with post-medieval cottages which had been demolished between 1955 and 1970. |
