Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land west of Severn Valley Railway, Bridgnorth, Shropshire . It was undertaken on behalf of David Symonds Associates on behalf of their client, Severn Valley Railway, who intends to construct an overflow carpark and railway turntable, for which a planning application has been submitted. Nine trenches were excavated over an area of 1.9ha. This was a reduction from the original 2.8ha intended for evaluation, due to the presence of previously unknown badger activity. Bedding trenches containing 19th Century pottery relating to a previous use as a nursery were identified in the northern part of the site, along with an undated and isolated posthole. No other archaeological features were encountered. Groundworks were also monitored in an area that was not suitable for evaluation, with negative results and a subsequent watching brief report produced. |
