Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land north of Fenny Compton, Warwickshire (National Grid reference SP 41980 52750). It was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting, and their client, Bloor Homes Midlands, who intends to apply for planning permission for residential development at the site. A desk-based assessment prepared for the site identified a moderate potential for the survival of Prehistoric remains within the site and a low potential for Roman, Medieval and more recent activity. A geophysical survey identified potential archaeological assets within the southern half of the site. The proposed development site comprises pasture to the north of Fenny Compton village, set back from the junction of High Street and Station Road. A watercourse flows through Fenny Compton from south to north forming the site's western boundary. Six trenches were excavated across the site in locations selected to target geophysical anomalies. Two intercutting ditches were recorded in a trench at the northern end of the investigated area and another in an adjacent trench. These are thought to form part of the same feature, such as an enclosure, although they appear to match separate anomalies identified on the geophysical survey. Part of a greyish red sandstone ashlar block was present in the fill of one ditch and animal bone was recovered from a further two but no datable artefacts were recovered. The environmental remains assessed were of low significance, suggesting low probability of recovering environmental remains suitable for analysis.
