Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting at Shirley Parkgate, Stratford Road, Solihull (NGR SP 11693 79570). The earliest features, two agricultural furrows, are thought to be medieval in date. This suggests that the site was under cultivation during the medieval period and lay outside the core of the medieval settlement of Shirley. Ceramic land drains of the post-medieval period also imply that the site continued to be under agricultural use until the construction of residential and commercial properties, including a Territorial Army centre, from the mid 20th century. |
