| Abstract: |
Four archaeological trial trenches were excavated in advance of a proposed housing development. The site lay within the historic core of the Roman and medieval city and the evaluation took place in line with the archaeological policies in the City of Worcester Local Plan. The trenches demonstrated the survival of discrete and intercutting features mostly cut into the natural subsoil which were largely Roman in date (2nd-4th century). Some of the features were post-medieval in date, but probably post-Civil War. There was no evidence for activity in the intervening periods. The depth of burial of the remains was variable, with 1m overburden in Trench 1 and Trench 3 but only 0.3m overburden in Trench 2. [Au(abr)] |
