Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was instructed by Amey plc on behalf of Severn Trent Water plc to carry out Archaeological Observation ('watching brief') of approximately 1.6km of trenching in connection with the renewal of mains pipework between Frodesley and Acton Burnell Shropshire. Trenching was excavated across farmland, adjacent to and crossing, Frodesley Lane/Watling Street. Trenching was approximately 0.3-1m wide with an average depth of 1.1m. A series of earlier road surfaces and associated post-medieval artefacts were encountered. Towards the northeastern extent of the scheme, evidence for a palaeochannel, or buried wetland deposit, was encountered. This possibly predates the existing watercourse, which has been redirected and channeled. |
