Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was carried out on land to the rear of 8 Merstow Green, Evesham, Worcestershire during development comprising part demolition of the existing building and the erection of a rear extension, four houses and a flat. The results confirmed previous suspicions that the area of study has been subjected to earlier truncation associated with previous development and that in places this was substantial. The earliest evidence of activity within the study site was demonstrated by the half dozen residual Roman pottery sherds recovered during the excavations indicating a period of continued Roman activity stretching from the 1st to early 5th century AD. Situated in a row aligned north-south at the rear of the building was a series of pits (some inter-cutting). These were interpreted as associated with the occupation of the school house between the 16th and 19th centuries when it was formerly an enclosed garden. Archaeological Building recording carried out in conjunction with observation of the excavation connected with the rear extension identified a number of phases associated with the rear development of the school house some of which could be related to the walled remains recorded within the trenches. Although excavation produced limited dating evidence, the broad range of artefacts recovered shows continued activity from the Roman and medieval periods and again during the 18th century. |
