Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigations was undertaken at The Old Tannery, Martley, Worcestershire (NGR SO 75366 60014; HER WSM 69580). It was undertaken on behalf of Francis Petkovic, who is undertaking residential development, comprising a house and garage with associated landscaping and services, for which a planning application has been approved, subject to archaeological conditions. The site lies on the corner of the B4204 road to Worcester on the southern boundary and the B4192 to Tenbury on the western boundary, in the centre of Martley village which is known to have medieval origins. The majority of the initial groundworks were not archaeologically monitored, apart for a single service trench. To compensate for this an extra excavation area comparable in size to the footprint of the new dwelling was opened. A full soil profile was recorded in both of the monitored areas. No significant archaeological deposits, structures, layers or horizons were recorded, not artefacts revealed. The brick and tile structure uncovered in the north-east corner corresponds with a small building first depicted on the 1903 Ordnance Survey map, so is of late 19th or early 20th century date. The finds assemblage comprised modern white porcelain, slip wares, terracotta ceramics and clay pipe stems, which will not be retained. |
