Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 76, Wellhead Lane, Perry Barr, Birmingham (NGR SP 070 908). It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of their client who intends to construct a supermarket for which a planning application has been submitted. The site was located next to Wellhead Lane, which is believed to be on the line of a section of Ryknild Street, a Roman Road which ran between Bourton on the Water and Derby. Four evaluation trenches were excavated across the site but it was not possible to locate any immediately next to Wellhead Lane due to the presence of a small Gas Valve Compound and a row of mature trees. Natural deposits were exposed in three of the trenches. No archaeological features or deposits were identified indicating that there was no roadside settlement or occupation within the proposed site. However, it is possible that remains associated with the Roman road such as roadside ditches and/or a road surface, may survive in the area between the evaluation trenches and Wellhead Lane. |
