An area excavation was undertaken in December 2004-May 2005 within
the western part of the interior and defences of Metchley Roman
fort, Birmingham (central England) in advance of proposals for a
new hospital development. This was the largest single excavation of
the fort interior undertaken at Metchley, comprising an area of
approximately 0.4ha, equivalent to approximately 9% of the total
internal area of the Phase 1 and Phase 3 fort. This volume, the
fourth in the reports, concentrates on the researches into the
western fort interior, defences, and post-Roman activity.
This excavation report details work carried out as a result of the
A34/M4 Junction improvement. The finds were somewhat fragmentary
but showed activity in the Mid to Late Bronze Age, then a gap
followed by renewed activity in the Late Iron Age and Roman
periods, with only a scattering of later, Saxon, finds. Finds
included worked and burnt flint, pottery and some Roman metal finds
such as coins and spoons.
