Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the excavation of a lining hole on the Severn Bridge (SAM11) at Atcham. The lining hole allowed an examination of the bridge deck and bed. The last appeared to be a layer of concrete that presumably overlay the stone of the bridge itself. Over this was a layer of compacted clay with occasional small stone pieces that formed the foundation for a modern road surface of tarmac. Unfortunately, there was no trace of the original 18th century road deck. [Au(adp)] |
