Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in February 2015 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Malvern Homes Ltd in advance of planning proposals for the residential development of land at The Plough Inn, Mancetter Road, Mancetter Warwickshire. The archaeological evaluation at the Plough Inn, Mancetter, produced clear evidence of activity and/or occupation on the site ranging from the Romano-British to post-medieval periods. Whilst the nature of this archaeology could not be properly characterised due to the limited size of the evaluation trenches, there are clear indications of archaeological potential which merit further investigation. In particular, the recovery of ceramic material historically associated with Roman military sites in tandem with possible timber structural evidence is of particular interest and may be directly related to the early Roman fortress known to have occupied the site in the first century AD. In addition, the substantial medieval ditch encountered in Trench 1 may pertain to the church and/or nearby manorial site. |
