| Abstract: |
<summary>Following the granting of planning permission to build a garage at 112 Tiddington Road and in view of the site's location in the centre of the known Roman settlement, arrangements were made for Warwickshire Museum to observe the excavation of foundations. A topsoil layer c 1m deep was removed down to natural gravel by a JCB hydraulic digger, from an area c 6m x 6.5m to the west of the existing house. No archaeological layers overlaid the gravel, but a number of pits and post holes, containing 2nd-4th century pottery, were observed cutting into it. These features were excavated and recorded, and quantities of finds, mainly pottery and animal bone, were collected from them. In the southern half of the area there were four small pits containing material of 2nd century date; a fifth lay just to the north. The pits were probably for the disposal of domestic rubbish; 131 fragments of animal bone, representing food refuse, were recovered from one pit. In the north part of the area there was a shallow hollow, and three post holes of late 3rd/4th century date. A fourth post hole contained Roman pottery that could not be closely dated. It is likely that the post holes would have supported the uprights of a timber building or buildings, most of which lay outside the excavated area. {italon}Au(adp){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} WA7176 |
