Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Northwick Road, Worcester (NGR SO 83990 58290). It was commissioned by Orion Heritage Limited on behalf of Northwick Development Limited, prior to the construction of an 80 bedroom care home. A planning application has been submitted to Wychavon District Council (application reference: 20/00234/OUT). The site is located on the north-western edge of Worcester, immediately to the west of Northwick Road and just under 400m to the east of the River Severn. Four trenches were opened in a nongridded array, a total area of 146 m2 over the total site area of 0.77 ha. Archaeological remains were identified in two trenches, consisting of fourteen closely spaced, east to west aligned, elongated pits which may form two parallel lines. These pits contained post-medieval material, likely to be 17th century, along with degraded bone. The most complete of these fragments have been identified from photographs as possible human bone. One piece of prehistoric worked flint and a single sherd of Roman pottery were also retrieved though were residual in these contexts. |
