Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong LLP were commissioned by Countryside Properties to undertake an archaeological Excavation on land to the east of Plough Hill Road, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The Excavation was required to investigate, record and fully understand the known archaeological resource ahead of the redevelopment of the Site. The strategy of the archaeological Excavation was designed based on the results of the previously conducted archaeological Evaluation, which identified an area in the southern extent of the Site which contained significant archaeological remains and artefacts. Trenches 21 and 45 from the archaeological Evaluation recorded a potential ditch, a series of pits and an assemblage of Mesolithic to Neolithic flints were recovered from the topsoil and hillwash deposits of trench 21. As such the archaeological Excavation sought to expand the area of investigation centred on these two trenches to fully investigate and record the archaeological resource. The Excavation has shown that the southern extent of the Site is populated by a series of small to large isolated pits, the previously recorded potential ditch feature from Trench 21 of the Evaluation was revealed to be an elongated pit and therefore matched the other feature types in this area. During the removal of the overburden deposits in Area 21 a large assemblage of worked flint has been collected, attesting to a high level of Mesolithic to Neolithic activity within the vicinity of the Site. Based on the topography of the Site and its immediate environs and given the retrieval of the flint from the upper stratigraphic deposits within Area 21 it is mostly likely redeposited from the brow of the hill to the northwest of Area 21, just beyond the boundary of the Site, and having washed downhill and settled in the natural shallow basins caused by undulations due to the variations in the natural drift geology below.
