Abstract: |
An archaeological watching Brief was undertaken on behalf of Mr D Shurmer at 82 Main Street, Sedgeberrow, Worcestershire (NGR 402156, 238298;WSM 38563). Two Iron Age pits (4th -1st century BC) were identified on the site. Although the original function of these features could not be established it confirms that the prehistoric settlement identified on the opposite side of Main Street, extends over the road. Although the limited quantity of prehistoric remains makes it impossible to define the nature of the settlement in this area. A partially truncated horse burial excavated on the site is thought to be Post-Roman in date and rather than representing a ritual event, it is thought it represents the everyday burial of a carcass. No other significant archaeological remains were identified on the site that was dominated by post-medieval and modern features and services. |
