Abstract: |
In September 2003 an archaeological watching brief was undertaken at a proposed farm composting site at Manor Farm, Wall, Staffordshire. The site lies adjacent to the Roman road Ryknild Street and c. 1.5 km east of the Romano-British town of Wall, itself on Roman Watling Street. Recent excavations on the Birmingham Northern Relief Road had also produced Romano-British archaeology. Therefore, although no known archaeology had previously been identified on the site, the potential for archaeological remains was considered strong enough to warrant a watching brief. No Romano-British archaeology was recorded. However, a discreet group of features filled with heat fractured stone was excavated and produced a mid-Late Iron Age radiocarbon date. This, together with the morphology of the feature group contrasts with burnt mound sites found elsewhere in the West Midlands, although parallels for the use of burnt stone in this period can be found in Staffordshire. |
