Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Jacobs Engineering acting on behalf of the Environment Agency at Wilden Marsh and Meadows SSSI, Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire (centred on NGR SO 82 73). The investigation revealed predominantly postmedieval and modern finds and deposits due to the shallow nature of the intrusive works although in the southern development area, deeper intrusive works occurred relating to the marsh outfall which revealed a stratified alluvial and organic sequence. Environmental analysis of the organic clay and peat indicated a dynamic marshy/wetland landscape and comparison with earlier investigations indicate that these organic deposits are potentially of a Mesolithic date. |
