14B High Street, Alcester

1Archaeological observations during the construction of an extension to 14B High Street Alcester, uncovered a wall which could have been Roman. A layer containing pottery and other finds dating from the Roman period to the 19th century, was consistent with that of a garden soil in an urban area that has been occupied for many centuries.
A Limestone Wall running north-east to south-west was recorded in the foundation trenches at a depth of 0.85m below the surrounding ground level. It was 0.23m wide with no apparent bonding material . No evidence to date the wall was recovered but it could have been Roman.
