Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Stokesay Castle, Craven Arms, Shropshire. It was commissioned by J N Bentley on behalf of Severn Trent Water, monitoring the replacement over a combined sewer overflow pipe scheme running roughly north / south, from Craven Arms sewerage treatment works, to the river Onny. The route of the pipe runs through the designated Stokesay Castle Scheduled Monument area. Scheduled Monument Consent was granted by Historic England, subject to a programme of archaeological works. Stokesay Castle is a moated 14th Century manor house, with a 17th Century Gatehouse and associated medieval water management systems. It is also the site of a postulated shrunken medieval settlement to the north of the castle. Due to the high potential for archaeology within the area of the proposed works and Scheduled land, an archaeological watching brief was undertaken. No significant archaeological finds, features or deposits relating to the medieval and post-medieval period of Stokesay Castle were revealed during the works, with modern truncation from farm use and the previous pipe installation in the 20th Century. |
