Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Worcestershire Highways at Teme Bridge, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire (SMR ref WSM 36087). The watching brief consisted of the observations of three trial pits, excavated through the present road surface on the top of the bridge, and a single core sample taken from one of the bridge piers. The trial pits on the present bridge surface revealed substantial sandstones structures relating to the original medieval bridge. The sandstone structure appeared to have the form of an earlier surface, probably the original road surface; there was evidence for partial, later truncation, though this was limited. The medieval road surface is exists only 0.32m below the present road surface. |
