Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Godson's Lane, Napton on the Hill, Warwickshire (NGR SP 46685 61146). It was undertaken for Prospect Archaeology Ltd on behalf of their client, AC Lloyd (Homes) Ltd, in advance of a proposed residential development for which a planning application has been submitted. LiDAR analysis carried out prior to the evaluation had established the presence of earthworks of presumed medieval date. These included ridge and furrow on the west of the proposed development site, along with a series of platforms and hollow/tracks across the rest of the site. Twelve trenches were excavated across the proposed development site. They established that well preserved archaeological remains dating to the medieval and modern periods survive on the site, buried below the earthwork features. The medieval remains were represented by a number of linear features including ditches and at least one wall, as well as other extensive deposits. The modern features included a ditch and a number of stone surfaces associated with platforms, which may relate to a building illustrated on an 1834 Ordnance Survey map. An undated wall, which probably represents the remains of a structure or building, was also identified on the site. The medieval finds assemblage formed a good group of 12th 13th century material. The dominance of cooking pot fabrics and forms is consistent with the date range and may also indicate a lower order settlement due to the scarcity of jug or pitcher forms, which would commonly be associated with an urban assemblage of this date. The environmental samples demonstrate the use of clean, processed grain on the site, although it is not possible to make any detailed interpretation of arable farming methods or crop growing conditions.
