Abstract: |
Archaeological fieldwalking was undertaken at land off Crab Apple Way, Evesham, Worcestershire (SP 0499 4190). This was carried out on behalf of Caroline Rankine of Breathe Architects for their client Eurofresh (Evesham) Ltd who intend the construction of a distribution warehouse with integrated offices, a service yard and associated staff and visitor parking. A planning application was submitted to Wychavon District Council (ref. W/11/1281) and approved subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. An archaeological evaluation undertaken 1988 in advance of the industrial estate uncovered a scatter of lithic (flint) artefacts dating from the Mesolithic period (HER ref WSM45701) on the south side of the proposed development site. The development was considered by the Curator to have the potential to affect this archaeological site. The scope of required works was outlined in a Brief prepared by requiring a programme of fieldwalking followed by watching brief on groundworks associated with construction. The footprint of the proposed development, measuring 100m x 50m was cleared of scrub, ploughed, harrowed and left to weather before fieldwalking was undertaken. The area was divided into 5mx5m grid squares and systematically walked in lines and artefactual material was retrieved and placed in labelled bags. The assemblage collected provided no evidence of activity earlier than the post-medieval period. Accordingly the curator decided that a second stage of watching brief of groundworks associated with construction would not be necessary. |
