Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Woollas Farm, Woollas Hill, Eckington, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 94510 41093). It was commissioned by Lucy Righton of L A Righton Rural Planning Consultancy on behalf of Mr and Mrs Steele, in advance of proposed redevelopment of the site. Planning permission has been granted subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. The site is located at the base of the northern slope of Bredon Hill, east of the village of Eckington. It is currently in use as a farm yard with a number of modern farm buildings. Three trenches were excavated across the site, placed to achieve an adequate sample of the site around the existing buildings. The only archaeological feature encountered was an undated stone filled land drain. The southern end of the site had been levelled in the recent past and at the northern end a large deposit of modern waste material was found, likely representing more acute levelling or a large modern waste pit. The potential for further archaeological activity to survive at this site is deemed to be very low. It is considered that the results of this evaluation provide an accurate characterisation of the site. |
