Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Mike Napthan Archaeology at Springfield Lodge,Britannia Square, Worcester in July-November 2012 during minor groundworks associated with remodelling of the late 19th to mid 20th Century southern entrance gates and construction of a pedestrian footway. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and has previously produced evidence of a substantial Roman masonry building to the north-east of the current investigation. The Roman assemblage recovered by the present project consisted only of a single fragment of what may just possibly be a lydion or pilae (Roman brick) but has only one face, restricting identification. The observed works were all fairly shallow in nature, including stripping of topsoil for the new path, the excavation of cable trenches and small pits dug for fence posts and bollards. No significant features or deposits were identified. |
