Abstract
Excavations at Fisherwick, Staffs, 1968 - a Romano-British farmstead and a Neolithic occupation site
Henrietta Quinnell

SK 184103. Aerial photography of crop-marks on the gravel terraces of the River Tame led to archaeological examination of a 4-acre area. Neolithic traces included a possible cooking pit, some postholes, and a general flint scatter - some ?Mortlake pottery represents the first found in Staffordshire. In the Romano-British period, a small-scale occupation was revealed by a D-shaped enclosure, a hut, pits and ditches. A droveway and associated field boundaries were probably laid out at this time. The main occupation phase was represented by several D-shaped enclosures, pens and three huts. The principal activity was presumably stock-raising, although no bones survive; there was no definite evidence for agriculture. Socio-economic problems raised by this and contemporary sites in the area are briefly reviewed.

SK 20540405. Another section of the early defences, 80ft from the 1967 excavation, revealed the postholes of one side of the western entrance to the Saxon burh. The rampart had a club-shaped end and very large post-holes suggested the footings of the abutment of a bridge to carry the rampart-walk over the entrance. The pre-913 ditch, which may relate to the royal palace enclosure, was also examined; its sides were lined with stake-holes for the insertion of a defence against wild animals rather than armed bands. The medieval defences seem to have consisted of no more than a ditch, but documents show that the borough did not enjoy economic expansion at this time. Au(amp)
Origins of Lichfield, Staffs
Christopher C Taylor
43 - 52
Topographical and documentary evidence suggests that Lichfield is not an ancient urban foundation but a medieval new town of about 1150. Following from this, a reassessment of the area's earlier history indicates that the 11th century manor of the Bishops of Lichfield was probably at least part of the territorium of the nearby Roman settlement of Letocetum.
