Abstract:		 The late Holocene palaeochannel exposed intertidal at Redwick is a large structure which cuts down through peats and silts to Pleistocene deposits supporting an early Mesolithic oak forest at the base of the Holocene succession. Striking inland to the north-northeast beneath the seawall, the palaeochannel post-dates the 'main · (Neolithic-Bronze Age) peat of the area and is infilled with a variety of estuarine deposits. Stratified low down in the fill are late Roman pottery sherds and a wooden structure, dating by radiocarbon to the early medieval period, interpreted as a possible fish trap. The fill also yields a little worked wood, thermally fractured pebbles, and quarried stone. The Redwick palaeochannel further demonstrates the importance of saltmarsh creeks to the prehistoric and early historic economy of the Gwent Levels.
