Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Worcestershire Wildlife Trust at Bean Hall Mill, Moors Lane, Feckenham, Worcestershire (NGR ref SP 00625 60210; WSM 66601). The excavation of two trenches to form two ponds was monitored. The former leat, of possible medieval origin was identified to the west. Debris of 18th to 20th century date was recovered, indicating that it had been cleaned out periodically into the modern period, and deliberating backfilled in the early 20th century. No earlier archaeological deposits or material were recorded. To the east, at least four phases of deposition of material were noted, through a combination of flood events and standing water. At no point were organic deposits revealed, so no samples were taken for environmental analysis. No significant archaeological features, deposits, layers or structures were exposed. |
