Abstract: |
This report describes the results of a desk-based assessment and trial trench evaluation of the site of a moated enclosure at 2-8 Warwick Road, Birmingham. Three trial trenches were excavated. These revealed differential survival of medieval features associated with the moated enclosure. Very good survival of archaeological deposits was encountered in the southeastern part of the site. A large pit-like feature and a cobbled surface, within the interior of the moated enclosure, were found beneath a protective layer of gravelly clay. Further to the northwest, however, severe truncation was found to have removed all archaeological traces, with the exception of deep features. The truncated base of the moat, just 2.5m wide, was uncovered and investigated. A possible leet that may have brought water into the moat was also found running down the slope from the northwest. |
