Abstract: |
There is currently a proposal for the installation of new a working eel trap and refurbishment of the existing wider eel trap structure at the historic Dinham Weir, Ludlow, Shropshire. The proposed development site lies within the medieval and post-medieval suburb of Dinham, just outside the town's defences on the east bank of the River Teme. Because of the potential historical and archaeological significance of the site, an archaeological desk-based assessment has been carried out of the proposed development site. This assessment suggests that there is a low potential for archaeological features and deposits of medieval and earlier post-medieval date surviving within the site itself. The present eel traps are an unusual mid to late 19th century structure, and though largely complete they are in need of repair and refurbishment. |
