Abstract: |
MOLA was commissioned by Wolverhampton City Council to carry out archaeological trial trenching on land west of i54 Business Park, Wolverhampton prior to proposed development on the site. Four trenches were excavated. In both the central and northern field two parallel ditches were present in the trenches and may relate to the Roman road thought to run through this area linking the forts at Penkridge and Greensforge. Remnant furrows from medieval ridge and furrow cultivation was present in the southern field though no dating material was found to suggest either a medieval or post-medieval date. Debris related to nearby brick manufacturing was present as a deposit in one of the furrows. |
