Data from a Trial Trenching from Weeford to Whittington, Lichfield, Staffordshire, 2019-2023 (HS2 Phase One)

This collection comprises text documents, reports, site records, images, spreadsheets, and GIS files from trial trenching carried out by Connect Archaeology at Weeford to Whittington, Lichfield, Staffordshire from 2019 to 2023. The fieldwork revealed evidence of a possible Romano-British settlement, concentrated in the southern end of the evaluation area. A sherd of Roman pottery was recovered from a linear feature to the north of the evaluation area; whilst this artefact may be residual and the feature may be the remains of ridge and furrow, its presence could suggest the presence of Romano-British field systems to the north of the potential settlement, and most likely also in the wider area. Phase 3 trial trenching revealed evidence of likely post-medieval ditches within the evaluation area.
