A silted-up palaeochannel in the postglacial estuarine alluvium exposed at Oldbury Flats on the south-eastern shore of the Severn Estuary has yielded a considerable variety of Romano-British occupation debris, and constitutes a major primary source for the substantial quantities of previously recorded archaeological material transposed into the present-day intertidal zone. The disposition of the abandoned tidal channels, the pattern of medieval fields, and the configuration and relationships of the surviving seabank to early finds in the area point to substantia/landscape and coastal changes from the Roman period onward. Considerable losses of alluvial land appear to have occurred, and these may have forced the inland dispersal of the Romano-British settlement. Perhaps because of its location, close to the shore of the estuary, and near major creeks, the settlement is the richest so Jar detected on the Severn Levels
