Abstract: |
In August-September 2008, archaeological observation, excavation and recording was undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology in advance of the replacement of a steam main feed to the Health Services Research Centre at the Medical School, University of Birmingham. The area was located within Metchley Roman fort, and in particular within a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 25120). Archaeological fieldwork initially involved observation during the machine excavation of overburden followed by hand-cleaning of the machined surfaces, and hand excavation of archaeological deposits. The only roman feature identified was a pebble surface. Other features and deposits were modern in date. |
