Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at the request of Mr B Greenaway, on behalf of his client Mr C Smith, at Tansy Cottage, Hanley Swan, Worcestershire (NGR SO 81385 43061; HER ref WSM69181). The proposed development comprised a single story home, and is situated within an area of high archaeological potential. Groundworks comprised a topsoil strip, and the excavation of foundation trenches. No significant archaeological features of deposits were observed within the development area. Ceramic material dating from the late 15th to early 17th centuries was recovered from the topsoil and subsoil, and indicates activity of this date within the vicinity. It also remains consistent with the tail end of pottery production within this area. Of particular note was the presence of Malvernian gravels; a drift geology with fluvio-glacial origins. This substrate reflects glacial activity associated with the Malvern Hills, and may have been a key factor in the production of Malvernian ware pottery within the parish of Hanley Castle. |
