Abstract: |
In July 2010 the hedgerow on the southwest side of the B4380 Buildwas road west of the B3494 crossing (Wroxeter crossroads) was realigned in order improve visibility at the junction of these roads. The site lay within the area of the Roman city of Viroconium Cornoviorum and as part of the scheduled Ancient Monument consent granted by English Heritage for the work, a programme of archaeological investigation was put in place. This investigation included a watching brief on the excavation of postholes for the realigned fence. Features and deposits of Roman date were recorded, including floor and yard surfaces and the tops of possible walls. |
