Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Ecus Ltd on behalf of Elgar Middleton Environmental Energy Investments Ltd to carry out a programme of evaluation trenching of land at Heywood Grange, Tickhill Lane, Dillhorne, Staffordshire (centred on NGR SJ 96295 44719). The evaluation was undertaken in order to support a planning application for a proposed solar farm and associated infrastructure at the Site (ref. SMD/2015/0088). A historic environment desk-based assessment and geophysical survey have previously been undertaken for the Site which established the potential for archaeological remains within the Site. The evaluation comprised the excavation of ten trenches measuring 30m by 1.8m located to target features identified in the geophysical survey in order to determine the archaeological potential of the Site and characterise any remains that may survive prior to redevelopment. None of the features identified as being of possible archaeological origin in the geophysical survey were confirmed within any of the evaluation trenches. The only feature of excavated was a possible former hedgerow identified in Trench 7 and other trenches contained the remains of tree bowls. Other finds of note comprises discrete patches of apparently modern vitrified material of probably industrial origin found below the subsoils in Trenches 6 and 7. On the basis of the results of the evaluation it is considered that the archaeological potential for the development area is extremely low. |
