Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Dodderhill School at Dodderhill School, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO901637; SMR ref WSM37555). Despite the proximity of known archaeological sites (Dodderhill Roman fort and St Augustine's church) no evidence of prehistoric, Roman or medieval occupation was located. Evidence of widespread 18th and 19th century landscaping and ground reduction was recorded, however, and this truncation of deposits most probably explains the lack of material evidence from earlier periods. The truncated remains of 18th and 19th century structures were also observed which give some indication of earlier building arrangements on the site. |
