Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land adjacent to Stone House, Staunton on Arrow, Herefordshire (NGR SO 37077 60080). It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client Mr Abson, who intends to construct a residential development. A planning application has been approved by Herefordshire County Council (reference P174051/F) subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. The proposed development site is located within the village of Staunton on Arrow and sits less than 100m east of a medieval motte. Two 30m long trenches were excavated across the site, positioned to sample the principal areas of the development. Overall, there were limited archaeological features and it is suggested that the land was previously agricultural in use at least throughout the medieval period and likely also into the early postmedieval period. A possible field boundary ditch and a small gully are thought to be the product of agriculture and a pit containing late 16th to 17th century pottery may be related to the use of the land as an orchard. |
