Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Upper Norton Farm, Craven Arms, Shropshire (NGR SO 46059 81555). It was commissioned by ADS Architects on behalf of their client, in advance of a proposed development including alterations to four agricultural buildings for holiday lets and leisure use for which planning applications have been submitted to Shropshire Council. This report relates to the access and enabling works off the B4368 road on the west of the site. The works monitored included ground reduction for the access road into the main site and the relocation of an oil tank on site. The site was in a garden of an existing property, with the ground sloping to the east towards the farmyard and barns. Ground reduction for the access road was to a maximum of 1.00m below ground level. No significant archaeological deposits, layers, structures or horizons were identified, nor artefacts recovered during the watching brief. The natural undisturbed geology was observed at approximately 0.70m depth across the full depth of the Trench 1 access road. However there was no defined undisturbed subsoil deposit above this. The modern turfed topsoil overlay a mixed made ground deposit of garden soils with occasional later post-medieval rubble and debris, which appeared to relate to previous phase/s of landscaping, and had involved intensive disturbance of the soils down to the natural geology.
