Abstract: |
In 2011 a further batch of twelve more hand-dug test pits (WSM46041) in the parish of Hanley Castle was instigated as part of a Heritage Lottery-funded community archaeology project undertaken for the Hanleys' Village Society. The exercise is part of a larger project to learn more about the origins and development of the parish through archaeological research. A large quantity of artefacts was again collected in the course of the 2011 testpitting. This included material dating from the Roman period onwards, the bulk of the finds being of later medieval, post-medieval and modern date. In some cases results confirmed those noted in 2010, while new discoveries were also made, such as the first archaeological evidence for the occupation of the moated site at Cygnet Lodge, Hanley Swan, and the identification of demolition debris from a house site at Blackmore Park, including possible evidence for a documented Tudor house. A local disposal site for rubbish from the 19th/20th century household at Severn End House was also tentatively identified. Across Hanley Castle village the general depth of post-medieval deposits was also a source of comment. |
