Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was undertaken on behalf of Severn Trent Water at Lower End, Birlingham, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO 9326 4248; SMR ref WSM 31912). Topsoil stripping revealed half of a circular 'ring ditch' feature. This was initially interpreted as being prehistoric, however it was filled with limestone rubble which would suggest a possible drainage feature. The only dating material found from within the ditch was a brick which dated the feature to the post-medieval period. No firm interpretation has been possible. It may represent a drainage feature or it may have structural origins perhaps for a windmill or a dovecote. |
