Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of service trenches and the various groundworks associated with construction of a new extension. The site is thought to be the location of a Roman temple. Substantial foundations were revealed during the 19th century and a further length exposed during an evaluation in 1992. The principal foundation trenches for the new buildings were excavated archaeologically. Much Roman material was recovered, including box tile and roof tile. Substantial blocks of worked stone included part of a hexagonal block, possibly a column base. A short length of foundation built of red sandstone was not dateable, but is probably of Roman date. This is the strongest evidence so far for a masonry building of Roman date in Worcester.[AIP] |
