Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Elsewhere, Broad Lane, Bishampton, Worcestershire. It was commissioned by Elmwood Heritage on behalf of Craig Styler Homes. Planning permission for the demolition of an existing dwelling and the construction of two houses on the site was granted subject to a programme of archaeological works subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. The site lies close to the historic core of the village and the archaeological advisor to Wychavon District Council considered that the development had the potential to have an impact upon heritage assets. It was therefore advised that a watching brief should be maintained on groundworks associated with the development. The works took place in two separate stages. The footprint of one house in the northwest corner of the property was monitored in November 2019 and a second house footprint in the southeast of the property was monitored in August 2020. In both areas redeposited natural material overly a former topsoil which itself overlay the natural substrate. Due to the lack of any significant archaeology within the monitored areas, if was agreed with the curator that monitoring beneath the demolished building was not required. No evidence of any pre-20th Century use of the site was observed during the works, with only modern landscaping, drainage and services for the current property present. |
