Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA) in May 2020 at Allesborough Farm, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9383 4629). The project was commissioned by Clive Petch of Clive Petch Architects, in advance of residential development. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works. An initial stage of works comprising archaeological evaluation of the site was undertaken in January 2020 in which a postmedieval tile-built hearth was recorded in a trench. In this stage of works a 190m2 area was excavated around the location of the hearth to record other structures which might have survived in the vicinity. The lowest course and foundation of a wall that formed an agricultural building was recorded in the southern part of the site. A later ceramic culvert appeared to truncate the farm building, and the internal deposits of the structure were contaminated with hydrocarbons, indicating use well into the 20th century. No further archaeological features were recorded. |
