Abstract: |
Archaeological observation was carried out during repairs to the flood banks as part of the Alcester Flood Alleviation Scheme. The works was carried out in areas both adjacent to and within the area of the SAM (no.128) of Alcester Roman Town. Work at Colebrook Close in close proximity to the line of Roman defences produced only an 18th century pipe bowl whilst that on the Recreation Ground recovered pottery dating from the 18th to 19th centuries. A single lead object resembling a large, heavy button was also found on the Recreation Ground site and may possibly have been a 19th century skirt weight. No significant archaeological deposits or features were revealed. [Au(abr)] |
