Abstract: |
<summary>A watching brief was undertaken during major groundworks on behalf of Worcester City Council and Severn Trent Water. Deposits were recorded from the section of the sewer trench along the Barbourne Road, from its junction with St George's Lane South to the junction with Sunnyside Road, north of the Barbourne Brook. Observations were also made in the area of St George's Lane North, St George's Walk and Gregory's Mill Street. Despite circumstantial evidence for the existence of a Roman road, little of archaeological significance was located, except in the area of the approaches to Barbourne Bridge, where evidence of a timber-laced embankment or causeway was observed. A composite profile of the natural deposits and recent landfilling was obtained for most of the sewer route. All of the previous road surfaces observed were of recent date. Few finds were recovered from the works as a whole, and all were post-medieval in date. A dendrochronological sample was taken from the causeway timbers, but the result was inconclusive. {italon}Sec(21d)/Au(?abr){italoff} |
