Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological monitored topsoil strip undertaken in respect to a proposed development at Pentland Grove, Bilston (centred on NGR: NT 2545 6479). Monitoring was focused on the footprint of the proposed new house due to greenhouse foundations and an existing track already existing in the location of the proposed drive and service track. The topsoil strip revealed 0.4 m depth of a mid greyish brown sandy silt topsoil over compact pale yellowish orange pink natural clays, with NW-SE orientated field drains at 5 m intervals. No archaeologically significant small finds were recovered during the evaluation. |
