Abstract: |
Border Archaeology was commissioned by Paul Cutting of Manor Developments to undertake Archaeological Observation during the excavation of foundation trenching at the site of the former veterinary surgery Church Street Leintwardine. The works took place during replacement of the former surgery with a timber-framed dwelling. Whilst any archaeological impact was minimised by the reuse where possible of previous foundations, foundation excavations were required in the northeast corner of the building plot (fig. 2). These were up to 0.9m depth and 0.45m wide, but were largely excavated through soils previously disturbed by evaluation trenching and below-ground services. Work was undertaken on 15th and 16th April 2013. The site lies within the designated Scheduled Area and in close proximity to the presumed location of the eastern defences of the Roman defended settlement of Bravonium. A timber-laced rampart and possible road aligned west/east were revealed during the curse of investigations carried out in the 1970s (Stanford 1972). Whilst these features were not encountered during the 2013 works, a previous programme of archaeological evaluation carried out by Border Archaeology in 2010 revealed a deep ditch, presumed to be associated with the rampart and town defences (BA 2011a). |
