Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was carried out during April and May 2019 at Forge House, School Street, Honeybourne, Worcestershire, WR11 7PJ during excavation associated with a small rear extension. The Historic Environment Record (HER) showed that the site lies within the historic core of the village in an area where there is evidence to suggest that settlement may have started during the Iron Age continuing into the Roman period. The development, small in scope, comprised strip foundations with the internal floor areas being subsequently reduced. No residual finds were recovered during the excavation and no archeological deposits or cut features pre-dating the construction of the house were observed during the works. Instead excavation showed that the underlying geology comprised a stiff Lias clay to be largely undisturbed, there appears to have been some truncation, but this was associated with the overlying relict subsoil deposit. Stray finds within the area of the site suggest settlement may have started in the Late Iron Age and continued into Romano-British period, this is supported by the results of archaeological fieldwork to the east on land between the village and Ricknild Street where Roman deposits have been discovered. |
