Abstract: |
This report considers the risk of cultivation and related factors to known archaeological sites on the Kemerton Estate, Worcestershire. It is based on a risk assessment model initially developed for English Nature by the Oxford Archaeological Unit and further developed by Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service for Natural England. The assessment and report are intended to inform a management plan and an application for Higher Level Stewardship. They cover fourteen fields in which archaeological sites were already known from cropmarks or other evidence (Figure 1). The sites are described in the appendix. Most of them are Iron Age and/or Roman farmsteads. They also include a group of Neolithic and early Bronze Age monuments, a possible Roman villa, and what appears to be a medieval hamlet. All of the sites had been noted in a previous Farm Environment Plan. Most of them were considered to be of high risk of erosion (truncation of archaeological deposits). The main aims of the project were to define the risk, in each case; to identify the factors that cause and prevent erosion; and to recommend appropriate management options. |
