- ENVIRONMENTAL DEPOSIT (Marine Isotope Stage 02 to 21ST CENTURY AD - 27050 BC to 2050 AD)
Full description
Peat has been mapped by BGS but no dating can be assigned to the deposit. Peat is likely to be Holocene in date but there is potential for Late Glacial material to be present at the base of the sequences. Palaeoenvironmental potential for these deposits is high.
In 2013 research was performed by Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology service for the National Heritage Protection Plan Project "Putting the Palaeolithic into Worcestershire's HER". The project identified a number of areas of palaeolithic potential. [1]
