Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Worcestershire County Council, Countryside Services at Powick Old Bridge, Powick, Worcestershire (NGR SO 83512 52450, HER ref WSM 42106). Nine trenches were excavated. The topsoil was observed to between 0.64m and 0.72m in depth, overlying subsoil to an indeterminate depth. At no point was the underlying natural matrix exposed. It was unclear if a red brick recorded at 0.70m depth adjacent to the south abutment of Powick Old Bridge was part of a structure or was construction debris. The soil deposits were interpreted as of naturally occurring origin. No deposits of archaeological significance were observed. Nevertheless the possibility remains that archaeological deposits, survive in areas of the site not disturbed by the present development, or at a greater depth than the present trenches. |
