Abstract: |
As part of the assessment of the impact of the proposed A46 Alcester-Stratford Improvement scheme on the Cultural Heritage, a survey was carried out by the Field Archaeology Section of the Warwickshire Museum [see AIP record C.44.0058]. This survey identified 22 archaeological sites in the study corridor, of which 8 would be affected by the proposals. In the case of 3 of the archaeological sites - a possible Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age settlement (WA 7274), a Romano-British settlement (WA 7277), and cropmark enclosures north of Red Hill (WA 4702) - it was felt that further investigation was necessary to produce a proper assessment of their significance. It was also possible that such investigation of sites WA 7277 and 4702 might produce further information on a fourth site, the Alcester-Stratford Roman road (WA 4757). A programme of field evaluation involving geophysical survey and trial trenching was devised in consultation with English Heritage and the County Field Archaeologist. The necessary permissions from landowners were not available until late summer and the work was carried out in September and October 1994, too late for inclusion in the Environmental Statement. Its results were therefore the subject of a supplementary report.[AIP] |
