Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during October 2016 at the former piggery, The Hollows, Long Compton, Warwickshire as a condition of planning permission granted for the erection of five detached dwellings on the site. The results showed that there is unlikely to be significant archaeological deposits situated within the study site. Instead, a sequence of three stratified homogenous layers were recorded throughout the majority of the site indicating an historic environment comprising of an undisturbed open agricultural landscape with little human activity until the post war construction of the piggery. This is supported by the lack of residual finds recovered from the excavation. An absence of medieval finds or deposits comparable to those recorded at Wheelwright House which lies to the north of the study site suggests that the medieval settlement of Long Compton does not extend this far south of the village. |
