Introduction

1/2 section of 5516
1/2 section of 5516

This collection comprises of reports, site photographs, spreadsheets, GIS data, site records and a database from an archaeological recording carried out by Connect Archaeology at Streethay, Lichfield, Staffordshire between July and October 2018.


Project Summary

The archaeological features uncovered and excavated within the investigation area were mostly of Romano-British date and comprised a large boundary ditch, a rectilinear enclosure and the remains of at least two roundhouses. The site was predominantly rural in nature and active throughout the 1st to early 2nd Century AD as determined mainly through the concentration of Roman greyware recovered during the excavations. Remnants of truncated linear features containing Iron Age pottery potentially suggest the site represents an Iron Age settlement that continued to be occupied into the early Roman period. Kiln furniture was recovered from some deposits, though no evidence of pottery kilns was present.


Re-Use Value Statement

The Streethay mitigation work can be considered as part of the wider HS2 archive and as such has re-use value.

The site has value on its own as it identified evidence of continued settlement from the Iron-Age through to the Romano-British period. This evidence contributes to the corpus of such sites in Britain.
