Abstract:		 In February and March 2016 a programme of archaeological works including trial trenching and a watching brief on intrusive groundworks was undertaken at the Town Square site, Stratford on Avon. Archaeological works coincided with the removal of belowground footings belonging to the former Somerfield supermarket and the Public toilets adjacent to the Town Square, and the subsequent excavation of service trenches, prior to the redevelopment of the site. An area in the northern half of the site was selected as suitable for trial trenching, as it avoided buried services. This revealed a single feature cut into made ground, the fill of which contained a large concentration of ceramic roof tiles. This feature is thought to be associated with the former range of buildings associated with the Plymouth Arms, a public house fronting onto Wood Street, which is depicted on the 1913 Ordnance Survey 25 inch sheet covering the proposed development area. No other traces of the Victorian back-plots, such as property boundaries, foundations or garden soils were revealed during monitoring. It was concluded that groundwork and preparation of the foundations for the 1970's supermarket had involved cleaning the site down to natural substrate.
