Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Alison Scott and Olaf Twiehaus, at 29, Dowling Drive, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 93619 45339; WSM 70499), during excavation of foundations for a residential extension. Previous investigations had identified Late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement in the immediate vicinity, comprising a rural settlement and droveway ditches to the south, east and west. All groundworks associated with the current development were monitored and recorded. No significant archaeological deposits, finds or features were exposed. Modern made ground lay directly over the natural strata of sands, gravels and clays. There was no surviving undisturbed soil profile, which indicates that the previous residential development involved landscaping which removed any potential archaeological deposits. |
