Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of land at Warwick University, University Road, Coventry (centred on SP 30087620) was commissioned by Warwick University. The work was undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology in October 2006. Five trenches were excavated to locate and identify any archaeological remains that could be affected by the proposed development. No previous archaeological work had been undertaken in the area, however, a desk-based assessment undertaken in 1996 had highlighted the potential for Iron Age and medieval remains to be present within the site boundaries. The evaluation identified the former course of a watercourse now present at the south of the site. Tile from the uppermost deposits of this feature suggests that the latest phase of silting up of the palaeochannel occurred during the medieval period. A ditch was identified aligned parallel to the former watercourse, the upper fills of which contained post-medieval pottery and clay pipe. |
