Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at land adjacent to the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire (NGR 417908 314558). This identified two north-east to southwest aligned field boundary ditches of probable Iron Age or Romano British date. One of these contained a fragment of rotary quern. Numerous late medieval to post-medieval furrows were also identified, aligned north to south and north-east to south-west. These differing aligned furrows suggest that the site had previously been separated into two open fields. |
