Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of foundation and drain trenches for an extension, at a site which lay within the Roman town of Alcester, and which was crossed by the projected line of a Roman road. A series of pebble layers with a cambered surface was recorded. This probably represented the remains of the Roman street, although the layers may have been yard surfaces associated with an early school located in the general area. The foundations of a 19th century grammar school, the construction of which had destroyed any intervening deposits, were also present. Post-medieval artefacts and three sherds of Romano-British pottery were recovered. [Au(adp)] |
