Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Blackpole Road, Worcester, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8708 5787). It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client who intends to develop the site for which a planning application has been submitted. The site is located close to the conjectured route of the Roman Road between Worcester and Droitwich. Thirteen trenches were excavated across the proposed development site. In the south-eastern part of the site a group of archaeological features were identified. These included a sub-square enclosure measuring approximately 15m across, and a pit containing the remains of a pottery jar which had been deposited in situ. Other features in this area included a small gully and two discrete features. The pottery recovered from the features in this area was Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, which is extremely rare in the Worcester area. No evidence of the Roman Road was identified within the evaluation trenches and no other archaeological features, deposits or finds were observed during the works. |
