Evaluation Archaeological evaluation was carried out during June 2022 on land to the south & east of Liberty Aluminium Technologies Ltd, The Forge, Stourport Road, Kidderminster, Worcestershire in connection with the development of the site comprising the construction of an energy and resource park. Although the site lies in an area of prehistoric archaeological potential, there was no indication that it was settled during this period. The site also lies to the north of the former Oldbury Farm, which is documented in 1086, but no medieval activity was observed during the investigation. Traces of an undated relict subsoil recorded within the western half of the site represented the historical remains of the agricultural landscape and the eastern limit of this deposit may indicate a former land boundary between the edge of the farm and the floodplain of the River Stour. The site was extensively developed for industrial use in the C20 as a waste management site which resulted in the eastern edge of the site being reclaimed and consolidated with redeposited waste. The evidence suggests that prior to this a former scarp or series of terraces marked the eastern edge of the former flood plain. The negative results of the evaluation suggested little human activity within the site until its development in the C20 and this hypothesis was supported by the absence of residual finds from across the application site. The investigation concluded that archaeological deposits are unlikely to be present within the application area and that the development would have no impact.
