Abstract: |
In June 2005, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation as part of the West Coast Main Line upgrade between Tamworth and Lichfield in Staffordshire. This report concerns the zones known in the project as Areas 22, 24 and 25. These are located mid-way between Tamworth and Whittington, where the railway crosses the river Tame (centred at NGR:SK 1860 0680). The evaluation revealed thick layers of alluvial deposits derived from the river Tame, post-medieval/modern field drains and service trenches and deposits associated with the construction of the nearby railway. A modern ditch and pit were also observed in the course of the work, as was a banked earthwork feature, possibly bank or former hedgerow feature of post-medieval date. |
