Abstract: |
In October 2016, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology at Land off London Road, Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire. The evaluation, which was commissioned by The Environmental Dimension Partnership (EDP), acting on behalf of Orbit Homes, was carried out in order to fulfil a condition attached to outline planning consent for residential development. The evaluation comprised the excavation of two trial trenches. A geophysical survey of the site had revealed evidence for ridge and furrow but had otherwise indicated that it had a low potential for archaeological remains. The purpose of the evaluation was to test the effectiveness of the survey and investigate if the ridge and furrow had been masking earlier features. There was no evidence for any earlier remains pre-dating the ridge and furrow earthworks in the areas investigated. No archaeological remains of any description, including stray artefactual material, were located, other than ridge and furrow which was evident as earthworks. This has further confirmed the 'low potential' identified by both the geophysical survey and desk-based assessment. |
