Abstract: |
Following previous geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation by Northamptonshire Archaeology, MOLA Northampton was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake mitigation works on land east of Station Road, Bishop's Itchington, Warwickshire. The excavations, over two small areas, uncovered intermittent activity from the late Iron Age to the post-medieval period. The Iron Age and Roman period evidence included curvilinear gullies, parts of possible enclosures, as well as a small assemblage of late Iron Age and Roman pottery and a large Iron Age triangular loomweight. Occasional fragments of early to middle Saxon pottery were found though no features could be attributed to this period. The medieval period saw a number of re-organisations of plot boundaries, from the 10th-15th centuries, as shown by a complex series of ditches followed by a phase of pits. The remains of a medieval road were present in the southern part of the field; the alignment matches that of High Street in the present-day village. Isolated post-medieval and modern activity was seen throughout the excavated areas. |
