Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Oldbury Flats and what remain of the adjoining Holocene wetlands on the east bank of the middle Severn Estuary are the site of a substantial, dispersed Romano-British settlement with Mesolithic-Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age antecedents. Here the uneven sub-Holocene bedrock surface lies at a relatively shallow depth, before dipping southwest-ward into the deep palaeovalley of Oldbury Pill. Excavation and collecting in the intertidal zone over a period of decades has revealed a wide variety of evidence regarding the Romano-British settlement and its industrial activities (Green and Solley 1980; Allen and Fulford 1987, 1992; Allen and Rippon 1997). Among that evidence are tantalising clues which suggest the presence in the settlement of at least one high-status building. The present note augments these clues by recording a stone palette found stratified together with other occupation debris in a deep ditch (British National Grid Reference ST 607932) exposed on the eroding marsh-edge cliff immediately to the south of the large palaeochannel that ranges across the exposed bedrock surface and the wetland area (Allen and Fulford 1992, illus. 2, 5; Allen and Rippon 1997). | ||
