Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during flood alleviation works at Sedgeberrow bridge (NGR SP 02463886; WSM 34253). The bridge is a modern structure at an ancient rivercrossing first documented in 786. This context, and earlier finds from the river-bed suggested that significant deposits might be present. Four trenches associated with the flood alleviation works were observed and recorded. All four trenches showed sequences of made ground over alluvium. The made ground and upper alluvial deposits were clearly modern, although the latter contained residual artefacts of post-medieval date. These suggest rubbish disposal by travellers using an earlier bridge. The lower alluvial deposits were probably much earlier, but contained no artefacts and no significant palaeoenvironmental remains. |
