Abstract: |
In July 2019 ARCA visited archaeological excavations on land at Ryall North Quarry at the request of Cotswold Archaeology Ltd. The site is located on the midpoint of a point bar of the River Severn near the village of Ryall, Worcestershire, and is being quarried for gravel by Cemex UK Operations Ltd. The excavations have revealed that a Roman occupation surface has developed in the top of a bed of fine sand and lies west of a low gravel terrace assigned to the Worcester Terrace. The sand is sterile, >0.3m thick and preserves current ripple cross-lamination. It has been laid down on the east margin of a palaeochannel and on laps against Devensian solifluction deposits and the terrace gravels. |
