Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the land off Main Street, Middle Tysoe, Warwickshire (NGR: SP 3416 4451). It was commissioned by Mr S Pendleton, who intends the construction of a residential development of nine dwellings together with new access, open space and landscape works, for which planning permission has been granted by Stratford on Avon District Council. The site lies on the northern edge of Middle Tysoe and lies over two fields, both currently under pasture. It has previously been the subject of a Historic Environment and Archaeological Statement and a geophysical survey. The Historic Environment and Archaeological Statement identified the presence of ridge and furrow, although less well preserved than other examples within the parish and that it falls within an area of low-medium sensitivity. The geophysical survey provided a broad record of the location and extent of the ridge and furrow as well as identifying a number of other anomalies, some of which were potentially of archaeological significance. An initial survey of the surviving ridge and furrow was undertaken using GPS surveying equipment. Following this seven trenches were excavated in locations designed to test the geophysical anomalies. The evaluation revealed archaeological remains of Romano-British and post-medieval date. A boundary formed from up to three re-cut ditches was recorded running parallel to the northern boundary of the site, in the location of a linear geophysical anomaly. Romano-British pottery was recovered from one section a ditch but others were undated. Another sherd of Roman pottery was recovered from a furrow and is therefore residual in this context. |
