Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was carried out in March 2016 at Land to the south of the Bight, Charlton, Worcestershire during excavation associated with the construction of a new dwelling, garage and access road. A previous desk based assessment identified that the site was first developed in the 17th century with the creation of a small farmstead connected with market gardening comprising a house, cider press and small shed. Further extensions were added in the 19th century and additional buildings to the south of the site in the 20th century. The excavation, which affected only the north and west parts of the plot revealed the stone foundations of the former 17th century house and its associated well. The timber-framing of the contemporary shed was dismantled and recorded after. The stratigraphic sequence exposed during the excavation suggests an open rural environment prior to the construction of the farmstead with little previous activity. |
