Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the former Primary School, Victoria Road, Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire (NGR: SP 0945 5182). It was undertaken on behalf of Westbury Homes Ltd, who intends to develop the site for residential use, for which a planning application has been submitted. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological site was present and if so to indicate its location, nature and date. Five trenches were excavated across the site. No archaeological features or horizons were identified. To the north and west modern dump deposits were observed directly over the natural terrace gravel. To the south and east a very thin clayey sand subsoil was noted, over naturally occurring clay and gravels. Toward the middle of the site a deeper sequence of clayey sands with gravel was recorded, overlying natural sandy gravel and bands of clay. Documentary sources indicate that the site was an undeveloped field prior to the construction of the primary school in the mid 20th century. It is considered likely that the groundworks associated with the school involved landscaping and levelling of the southern side of the site, which truncated the deposit sequence. However the general lack of residual finds predating the post-medieval/modern periods over the entire site indicates that there was probably never any substantial human activity within the development area.
