Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during October 2016 at Home Farm, Old School Lane, Lighthorne, Warwickshire in connection with a proposal for development of the site. The study site is to situated on the south-eastern edge of the village, currently comprising a field south of Home Farm, itself a 19th century development. Excavation revealed no significant archaeological remains, but instead a sequence of three homogenous stratified deposits indicating an open rural landscape. Residually deposited finds from the subsoil layers in trenches 2 and 3 indicates early and later medieval activity probably associated with the agricultural use of the land. Modern pitting had previously truncated deposits to the west and south-west as and this was followed by the re-deposition of natural clay across the southern half of the site to a depth of at about 0.50m. The overall effect of this was increase the gradient of the slope within the natural topography of the study site which rises from north to south. |
