Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was contracted by the Environment Agency to undertake an archaeological evaluation within the footprint of proposed flood defence works along the River Tame in the Sandwell Valley, West Midlands.Six trial trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed works. No features of apparent early date were identified. Ditches recorded in Trenches 04, 05 and 06 yielded no dating evidence but the loose, dark and loamy fills did not suggest great antiquity. The ditches in Trenches 04 and 05 match the NNW-SSE alignment of no longer extant boundaries depicted on 19th century Ordnance Survey mapping (and partly visible on the ground) although only that in Trench 05 appears to closely match a mapped boundary. However, the north-south ditch in Trench 06 does not appear to match any mapped features and may be of earlier date. |
