Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Lovell Partnerships Limited during topsoil stripping prior to development of land off Old Worcester Road, Hartlebury, Worcestershire (SO 84525 71261) (HER ref WSM 49634). Surface finds of Prehistoric and Romano-British date within the vicinity of the site had suggested the potential presence of an archaeological site. Prior to development, the site was arable fields. Across the site, topsoil consistently directly overlay natural substrate and no archaeological features or finds were recorded. Although some truncation by the plough is likely to have occurred, it unlikely that it was sufficient to remove all archaeological features. A lack of material culture suggests that the remains of settlement or other intensive activity does not survive in the immediate vicinity of the site. |
