Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Brickwalls farmhouse, Gilberts End, Hanley Castle, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8231 4227). It was undertaken for Osbournes Architects (the client) on behalf of their clients, Mr and Mrs Voss. Malvern Hills District Council have granted permission for the construction of a single storey extension on the north side of the Brickwalls Farmhouse. Permission was granted to conditions, including a programme of archaeological works and it was established that an archaeological watching brief was appropriate mitigation. The site is in an area known for medieval pottery production and archaeological works in 2006 immediately north of the development had established the survival of archaeological features, including a large pit of wasters fragments from objects which had been improperly fired and discarded. The pit was partially excavated and a large assemblage of medieval pottery was retrieved. Ground levelling and the foundation trenches for the extension were archaeologically monitored and in the north-western corner of the foundation trenches a further part of the large waster pit was uncovered. This was recorded and 235 sherds of pottery were retrieved comprised of two (local) Malvernian wares: Malvernian unglazed and Oxidised glazed Malvernian ware. The latter was the more common ware of which all diagnostic sherds were from rounded jugs, dating to the later 14th to 15th centuries. No further archaeological features were observed during the works. Natural gravels and marl were recorded in the remainder of the foundation trenches. |
