Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in October 2018 at land off Ryall Court Lane, Holly Green, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8606 4115). This comprised four evaluation trenches laid out in a random non-gridded array. No archaeological features were known prior to the evaluation, but a preceding desk-based assessment had indicated some potential for artefact scatters on the site due to the presence of archaeological remains in the surrounding area to and the location of the site on rising ground close to the River Severn. Only a single possible archaeological feature was identified. This comprised a small shallow linear, possibly a gully, but this was diffuse and insecurely dated. There was no indication of direct occupation on the site and it appears to have been used as agricultural land for a considerable period. The artefactual assemblage recovered did, however, suggest that general Roman, medieval and post-medieval activity in the surrounds has produced material that has been incorporated into soils through manuring or dumping. |
