Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation and watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June and then in September and October 2016 at Foden Park, Streethay, Lichfield, Staffordshire. Two excavation areas and two watching brief areas were located throughout the development and targeted features and artefacts identified in a previous evaluation of the site. Two parallel post-medieval ditches were identified within the excavation area at the south extent of site. It is likely that these ditches represent successive iterations of historic field, or possibly settlement boundaries, with the more northerly ditch correlating to a known field boundary seen on the 1849 Tithe Map of Streethay Township and the more southerly ditch yielding 18th-century artefacts. No features or artefacts pre-dating the modern period were identified within the second excavation area or either watching brief area. |
