Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Severn Trent Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief on groundworks associated with the construction of a sewer on land off Aston Street, Wem, Shropshire. Six manholes and a length of open cut trenching were monitored. An archaeological feature containing post-medieval material was observed in one of the manholes, though its full extent could not be determined. No other features were observed in the other manholes or in the open cut trench where the ground appeared disturbed. Datable material (pottery, ceramic building material, clay pipe) recovered from the site is all post-medieval; the pottery (coarse redwares, Midlands stoneware, creamware and refined whitewares) suggests a date range from 18th to 20th century. |
