Abstract: |
Desk-top survey and evaluation trenching of the proposed Western bypass route involved an assessment of the impact of the proposals on the known archaeological sites in the vicinity. The most significant area to be affected lies to the south of Powick Bridge and mill, being the site of a Civil War skirmish and battle. At Wick Episcopi the suspected site of a deserted medieval village was investigated, without positive results. Small quantities of Roman and medieval pottery were recovered during fieldwalking. At Crown East a dam and fishponds of uncertain date were recorded, together with the course of the former lane. A small settlement adjacent to the former lane was identified from map evidence, but excavation along the proposed roadline produced no evidence of buildings.[AIP]\n\n |
