Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Marlene Croft, Chelmsley Wood, Solihull (NGR SP 18421 86292). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs, whose client intends a residential development for which a planning application has been granted, subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. Seven trenches were excavated on the site of the former school ground. Evidence for a probable pond or marshy area was discovered, with the earliest dated material from the 18th century. The soil profile indicated that the whole site had been formerly waterlogged. Historic maps depict a brook running across the land, and a small enclosed copse growing over the possible pond area. The site was reclaimed via the importation of large amounts of made ground, as the area saw rapid development to alleviate the housing shortage in the post-war period.
