| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the laying of a new water main along the centre of a road. The route crossed the line of Roman Ryknild Street, and cut through a series of medieval and post-medieval woodland boundaries. Archaeological remains previously recorded in the vicinity included Mesolithic worked flints, a Neolithic stone axe, burnt mounds of probable Bronze Age date, a Bronze Age axe and a number of post-medieval mills. During the watching brief, no evidence for Ryknild Street was observed, and it was concluded that this had probably been destroyed where it was crossed by the modern road. Evidence for 16th century woodland boundary ditches was observed. [AIP] |
