Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Red Hill Primary School, Worcester, Worcestershire (NGR SO 386150 253976). It was commissioned by Robert Lewin-Jones of Jacobs (Agent) acting on behalf of Worcestershire County Council, in advance of construction of new classroom facilities, a community room extension, a new hard play area and new parking areas. No archaeological features or deposits were observed within the four areas of groundworks. The stratigraphic deposits recorded, indicated heavy ground disturbance within the investigation area. Subsequently, all but one of the excavated trenches recorded the presence of made ground material, with some evidence of truncation to the natural red marl clays. It is highly likely that the ground disturbance around Redhill Primary School is related to various phases of construction of the school itself. With the Cotswold Line railway line situated circa 20m to the east, landscaping associated to the construction of the railway also remains a possibility. |
