Abstract: |
The first phase of an archaeological evaluation was carried out at the former Corus Steelworks, Birmingham Road, Oldbury, Sandwell (NGR SO 997 895) in April 2006. Documentary and cartographic evidence suggested there was potential for the survival of buried remains associated with the medieval Blakeley Mill. Three trial-trenches were excavated and no significant archaeological features, deposits or finds were identified. In two of the trial-trenches evidence of a buried soil layer predating the 20th century industrial development of the site was recorded. A brick culvert of 18th or 19th century date, probably associated with the adjacent Birmingham Canal, was also revealed. |
