Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Halcrow Group Ltd client at Abbey Bridge, Evesham, Worcestershire, (NGR SP 034 431; HER ref WSM 41769). Four trenches, amounting to c 6.45m2 in area, were excavated on the south bank of Abbey Bridge. Deposit modelling was undertaken through the analysis of geotechnical data and logs retrieved by Ian Farmer Associates and revealed the presence of a sequence of Holocene and possibly late Devensian deposits including an organic peat deposit possibly indicating the presence of a palaeochannel or similar alluvial feature. The date of this deposit is unknown although it has potential to contribute to the understanding of the Holocene development of the Avon floodplain |
