Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during July 2016 at Lower Grounds, Main Street, Middle Tysoe, Warks in advance of a proposal for the erection of five detached dwellings on the site. The results showed that there is unlikely to be significant archaeological deposits surviving within the site. A sequence of three stratified deposits were recorded throughout the trenches comprising a natural Lias clay overlain by a relict subsoil. This was interpreted as associated with former medieval or post-medieval cultivation as evidence by the existing agricultural earthworks (ridge and furrow). This is supported by an assessment (Cook, 2016b) of land adjacent to the north side of Lower Grounds which was erected in 1965. The analysis of the historic mapping, aerial photographic evidence and the results of previous archaeological work showed the possible limit an earlier Roman agricultural landscape to the south of Lower Grounds. This appears to be defined by an east-west field boundary ditch which may be connected with an earlier settlement at Church Farm to the south. |
