Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the proposed site of a new office development on the edge of the medieval suburb of Saltisford, Warwick on the site of the medieval leper hospital, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Within the Scheduled Area complex medieval stratigraphy dating back to the 13th century was revealed. The archaeological remains included stone wall foundations, a pebble yard surface, post holes and pits in the area between the Chapel and the Master's House. Post-medieval remains were also recorded in this area, including stone wall foundations and occupation surfaces. Evidence for possible medieval activity was recorded to the rear of the Master's House including a boundary or retaining wall and a possible rubble surface. A modern boundary ditch was also recorded that may have been the re-cut of an earlier feature. The northern part of the site outside the scheduled area revealed only two gully features and part of the area to the rear of the development site appears to have been subject to extensive dumping during the late 20th century.
