Abstract: |
Worcestershire Archaeology was requested to carry out an archaeological watching brief at Old Oswestry Hillfort, Oswestry, Shropshire (SJ 29574 31019) by English Heritage. This was to fulfil a requirement for Scheduled Monument Consent (Historic England 2016a), for the installation of two new field gates on Old Oswestry Hillfort to improve grounds maintenance access to the monument's ramparts. The solid geology of the area is described as Etruria Formation comprised of mudstone, sandstone and conglomerate, with superficial glaciofluvial deposits of Devensian sand and gravel (BGS 2016). |
