Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong LLP was commissioned by Cannock Chase District Council to undertake an archaeological Watching Brief at St. Luke's Church, Cannock. The Watching Brief was required to investigate the potential for archaeological remains ahead of the erection of a World War One Commemorative Art Feature and associated groundworks for which a planning application has been granted by Cannock Chase District Council. No previous archaeological works have been carried out prior to the commencement of these groundworks. The groundworks for the installation of the monument encroached predominantly within topsoil deposits and to a depth no greater than 300mm below ground level. The excavation identified modern layers relating to the 1949 and 1950 headstone removal, levelling the ground and the creation of lawns. It was in these layers that a small assemblage of post-medieval to modern material was recovered. At the base of excavations, 30mm of the original graveyard topsoil was encountered beneath the layers of made ground but was not investigated further. Within the cable run there were no archaeological features or remains identified or disturbed. No further analysis or reporting is recommended. |
