Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out in April/May 2005 at Hints Quarry, Hints, Staffordshire (centred on NGR SK 1650 0400). The watching brief was conducted by Birmingham Archaeology on behalf of Tarmac Ltd., during topsoil stripping in advance of mineral extraction in two discrete areas within the quarry. The only archaeological feature identified was a possible hearth-pit, which contained a few sherds of Romano-British pottery, and a large amount of heat-shattered and cracked pebbles. A flint scraper and a flint flake of unknown prehistoric date were also recovered during the watching brief. |
