Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
By the end of the Roman period over one half of the tidal wetlands of the inner Severn estuary between Gloucester and Awre had been embanked and drained. The RB reclamations are recognised on the basis of archaeological evidence and by the degree to which the reclaimed areas are depressed below the level of the contemporary active marshes along the tidal river. Most of the RB reclamations are to be found on the left bank, and most of these carry a settlement directly on the alluvium. This significant difference in distribution may indicate the development of large villa estates, with the alluvial settlements representing outlying farmsteads. Iron-making occurred on both banks, possibly on an industrial scale. | ||||||||
