Description and Sources Description MARCHING CAMP/FORT: GREENSFORGE ROMAN FORT AND ANNEXE. EXCAVATIONS IN THE 1920'S IN THE SE CORNER INDICATED A RAMPART COMPOSED OF A DOUBLE ROW OF TURF FILLED WITH SAND AND GRAVEL. BURNT WATTLE AND DAUB WAS FOUND IN THE INTERIOR PRESUMABLY INDICATING TIMBER BUILDINGS. POTTERY IN QUANTITY INCLUDED CLAUDIAN SAMIAN WARE. ALSO FOUND, PENNANULAR BROOCH AND FIBULA. AP INDICATES THAT THERE WERE AT LEAST TWO DITCHES AND MORE THAN ONE PERIOD OF OCCUPATION. <1>

COINS OF VESPASIAN AND NERO FOUND NEAR TO THE SITE. <3>

AP SHOWS TWO FORTS AT GREENSFORGE, AND PROBABLE EARLIER MARCHING CAMPS. <4>

This [fort] may have commanded a crossing of the Smestow Brook, and stood at the junction of three Roman roads- heading north-east towards Watling Street near Penkridge, north-west towards Roughtown, Bridgenorth and the Severn, and southwards towards Droitwich. It consisted of double-ditched turf-revetted defences, enclosing an area of some 2.2ha containing timber buildings. It may have housed a cavalry ala or a mixed force of infantry units. [3/2/03] <12>

The excavation of three trial trenches within the north-east corner of the fort identified that little damage appeared to have been done during the conversion of this area of the monument into a riding school manege. The three trenches were similar in stratigraphy and revealed similar artefactual information. The single sherd of pottery supports the current accepted date of the fort and the scarcity of finds suggests that the archaeology is not intensive on the site. It was noted that no layers of stratigraphy existed between the topsoil and the natural in the excavated trenches, suggesting that Roman surfaces or deposits have either been lost or severely truncated within the area of the manege.

(SB, 04-Oct-2004) These photographs are missing from the Oblique Aerial Photograph boxfile.

(SB, 04-Oct-2004) The road exits the northern entrance of a Fort (Primary Record Number 00052) and is defined for a length of circa 0.9 kilometres by the flanking ditches identified from cropmarks. The precise course of the road to the north of Hinksford is not known. <3>

(SB, 04-Oct-2004) The course of the road ran north-north-east from one of the Roman forts at Greensforge to the Roman settlement at Pennocrucium. The line of the road is visible on aerial photographs to the north of Mile Flat as parallel linear cropmarks, probably representing the roads flanking ditches. The excavation of a pipe trench across the projected line of the road, near The Old Bush Inn, Hinksford, revealed no evidence of the road surface or the flanking ditches. It is probable that the remains of the road in this area have been ploughed away by later cultivation. <4> Sources (1) Index: Stoke-on-Trent City Museum Field Archaeology Unit.

PRN NumberSite Name Record Type 01725 - MST1717 Greensforge to Droitwich Roman Road Monument The course of a Roman road form Greensforge to Droitwich identified on aerial photographs and surviving within existing lanes in places. Several small excavations along the route (in Staffordshire) indicate that remains of the road have been ploughed away in places.

Monument Types and Dates ROAD (ROMAN - 43 AD to 409 AD) Evidence CROPMARK

Description and Sources Description Road: Roman road to Greensforge. Excavation April-November 1971 (along a section of the road), unpublished? <1>

The course of the Roman road from Greensforge to Droitwich (which was subsequently used as a saltway during the medieval period) forms part of the county boundary between Hereford and Worcester, Staffordshire and Dudley at Iverley. The excavation of a series of test pits along the course of the road at Iverley in 1992 produced a small quantity of post- medieval material, however no evidence of the characteristic metalled surfaces or ditches associated with the road itself were identified and no contemporary artefacts were recovered. (SB, 10-Nov-2009) <2>

The general line of the road is well known, heading south-south-eastwards from Greensforge camp, and surviving in the existing lane as far as Holloway House. To the south-east of the A449 between Kidderminster and Kingswinford the line of the road is thought to be represented by a short stretch of hedge and an associated steep embankment south of Yew Tree Farm, although this could simply be a hedgeline. Aerial photographs from 1969 and 1970 do not show any sign of the road line and the topography of the area suggests the road may have diverged from the Ordnance Survey's projected line of the road to cross the flood plain and the River Stour. Excavations near Cherry Tree Cottage revealed evidence of a post- medieval trackway and ditch, although it was not confirmed whether the remains of an earlier road survived below this. Aerial photographs from 1969 show the line of the road clearly to the north of Little Iverley Covert. The road appears to continue to the south of the covert but the cropmark is less clear. South of the A451 (Kidderminster to Stourbridge road) the Roman road follows the line of County Lane, along the Staffordshire/Worcestershire/Dudley Borough boundary. Excavation of a trial trench across the projected line of the road to the south of Yew Tree Farm revealed no evidence for a road surface or of any roadside drainage ditches. A second trial trench excavated to the south of Little Iverley Covert again revealed no evidence of a road surface or parallel ditches, and it is thought likely that any remains of the road have been ploughed out in this area. Two further trenches just to the south of this again revealed no evidence of the road. (SB, 05-Oct-2004) <3> Sources (1) Aerial Photograph: National Monument Record. 1970s-1980s.

(SB, 03-Nov-2005) A series of cropmark features within and immediately outside one of the scheduled Roman camps (PRN 01411) at Greensforge. It is not clear whether they are associated with the use of the camp, although trial excavations along the two of the broad linear features identified that these features were shallow hollow ways of Roman date. The trial excavation revealed further features not visible on aerial photographs, including post-holes, pits and shallow gullies. A quantity of iron-working residue was also recovered, suggesting iron working activity was taking place nearby. Pottery, of generally domestic type, dated this settlement area to the later 2nd and 3rd century AD. <3> Sources (1) Aerial Photograph: National Monument Record. 1970s-1980s.

PRN NumberSite Name Record Type 05363 - MST4897 The Shut End Railway Monument The former course of mineral railway, which was constructed between 1827 and 1829 and continually extended until the end of the Second World War. The Shut End railway was the first steam powered railway in the Midlands and South.

Monument Types and Dates MINERAL RAILWAY (INDUSTRIAL - 1829 AD) Evidence EARTHWORK Evidence STRUCTURE

Description and Sources Description RAILWAY. DISMANTLED RAILWAY BETWEEN WALL HEATH & WOMBOURNE. <1>

RAILS AND SLEEPERS SEEN IN TRENCH SIDES. DISTANCE BETWEEN RAILS 5FT 41/2 INCHES <6> taken from duplicate entry PRN 03806.

In fact the course of this abandoned railway line runs between Ashwood marina off the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal and the formerly heavily industrialised "Black Country" settlements of Himley, Shut End, Tansey Green and "beyond". Apparently servicing the needs of assorted industries along the way including collieries, brickworks, sand pits and gasworks. AK - observation of various OS map bases. 14/11/2001. <2>

Also mentioned in VCH vol. 2 - p.306 and others. The "Shut End Railway" opened in 1829, serving the Earl of Dudley's collieries and providing a connection to the aforementioned canal. <3>

Also appears on 1836 OS 1" which notes an inclined plane near the western end to facilitate descent into the Smestow valley. AK - 16/11/2001. <4>

An assessment prior to mineral extraction suggests that as an early example of railway building, the line is of regional importance and warrants retention. <5> <7>

(SB, 04-Oct-2004) The railway was built between 1827 and 1829 to carry coal, limestone and ironstone from the Earl of Dudley's collieries and quarries at Shut End to the new canal basin at Ashwood. It was the first steam powered railway in the Midlands and the south of England, and was also known as the Pensnett railway. The line was 5 kilometres long with a 1 in 30 inclined plane at the Ashwood end, which led to the canal basin. The railway sidings alongside the basin had the capacity to load 60 boats at a time. At the other end a second incline plane (1 in 28.7) led up to Corbyn's Hall colliery. The wagons were hauled between the two planes by a steam locomotive named 'Agenoria', on standard 4ft 8 1/2 inch gauge iron rails. The Agenoria is the oldest steam locomotive surviving virtually in tact, and is displayed in the National Railway Museum in York. A further 10 kilometres of track had been added by 1845 to serve new iron furnaces at Round Oak, Brierley Hill. From here in 1854 it was linked to the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton railway. By the 1870's the line formed part of the Earl of Dudley's railway which linked ironworks, wharves, workshops and collieries. The length of the network had extended to 160 kilometres by the early 20th century, but the railway went into decline after the Second World War, and the last section closed at Baggeridge colliery in 1968. A 50 metre stretch of embankment survives running north from the canal basin. The embankment has been quarried away, or built over some places. Rails and sleepers were identified in one area during excavations in the 1980's. Further stretches of the embankment measuring up to 5 and 7 metres high also survive in places. A cross section excavated through the railway embankment showed that it measured circa 24 metres wide and 6 metres high at this point, and that the central core of the embankment was made up of a reddish yellow sand and gravel. <8>
