Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology in November 2018 at 3 Britannia Square, Worcester. The watching brief comprised observation of the excavation of lightwells which were being constructed as part of the refurbishment of the existing basement. Number 3 Britannia Square is located on the south side of Britannia Square (Figure 1), which is located about 700m north of the centre of Worcester. The central part of Britannia Square is a Scheduled Monument. In the 1820s a Roman building, thought to be a villa or temple complex, was discovered during excavation of the basement for Springfield House which stands in the centre of the square. No archaeological features, deposits or finds associated with the scheduled Roman site were identified during the watching brief. The earliest deposit identified was a sand and gravel, probably of natural origin but redeposited within the cut for the house at 3 Britannia Square. The remaining deposits and features were all clearly associated with 3 Britannia Square. |
