Abstract: |
<summary>A watching brief was maintained during the construction of a pipeline to serve Birmingham International Airport. Although the link was approximately 50 km long, and passed through parts of the counties of Hereford & Worcester, Warwickshire and West Midlands, very few archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were revealed. The most significant finds were of medieval date, coming from two sites located in the county of Hereford & Worcester, and only two sherds of Roman pottery, two sherds of prehistoric pottery, and four flint flakes were recovered. A number of small, undated features were encountered, and the presence of burnt mounds within the area attested to early settlement; however, proof of the existence of such early settlement was not obtained. The pipeline corridor did disturb some areas of ridge and furrow earthworks, and these were reinstated as appropriate.
