Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation at the Hartwell Garage in Digbeth was undertaken on behalf of the owners, Hartwell plc, as part of a planning application to redevelop part of the site. The trial trenches demonstrated that potentially significant archaeological deposits survived as islands between areas of later disturbance, and included a waterlogged deposit in Trench 2 which contained preserved pieces of leather and wood. The pottery dated these deposits to the years between c.1500 and 1800. In addition to the archaeological deposits, structural evidence was found for a series of later 18th-century and 19th-century brick buildings, which were densely packed into the area before the garage was built this century. |
