| Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed five successive ditches running through the site at Seabank, all of them draining into the River Severn and following a similar alignment. Each ditch was found to be aligned slighty to the east of its predecessor suggesting that they were infilled from the west. The line followed by the ditches appeared to have been maintained from the 11th century to the 18th century. The richest deposit revealed during the excavation was the secondary fill of a 12th century ditch, which produced a large quantity of ceramic and environmental information which suggested that by the 12th century, the local environment was stable enough to allow domestic activity to take place on the saltmarsh.
