Abstract: |
The proposed development area adjoining Rayford Caravan Park was situated immediately outside the known limits of the Roman small town of Tiddington (Scheduled Ancient Monument, Warwickshire No. 184). The proximity of the study area to the Roman town suggested the possibility of occupation within the area (including a possible roadway to a putative ford across the Avon). The results of a preliminary geophysical survey also suggested that deposits of occupation material might be present across the site. The entire area was overlaid with ridge and furrow earthworks relating to agricultural activity of probable medieval date; these earthworks were visible in section in Trench 3, but no artefactual material associated with them was recovered. A drainage channel, still visible on the surface and running along the base of a furrow, was also cut through by Trench 3; no artefacts were recovered from within its fill, but it could not in any case pre-date the ridge and furrow. No trace was encountered of either the postulated Roman road or the defensive ditch around the town.[AIP] |
