Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned to conduct a field evaluation on the proposed development area at Station Road, Bishops Itchington, Warwickshire. The trial trenches revealed boundary ditches of 12th to 14th century date, which formed a small group of closes at the northern end of the High Street. The closes were probably originally pasture for keeping livestock; there were few artefacts to suggest that domestic occupation extended onto the site and charred seeds were probably those of fodder crops such as oats, which may have been distributed around the closes when feeding animals. The concentration of features in the south of the site may indicate the presence of a small corral, pen or animal shelter. |
