Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This document is a fieldwork report for an archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of the proposed development of the land Boots Farm, Straight Mile, Bourton Heath, Rugby CV23 9QQ (NGR: SP 43185 71448). The work was commissioned by Mitchells Potatoes Ltd. The proposed development area lies within Bourton Heath, north of Bourton on Dunsmore in Rugby, on land occupied by Boots Farm. The site is currently arable farmland along with and associated commercial units / farm buildings and yard areas. The Historic Environment Record (HER) for the area lists several areas of interest within the site including a Bronze Age / Iron Age pit alignment and associated ditch enclosure. Phase one was to comprise of five trenches within the arable fields with a second phase of three trenches focussing on the area within the farm yard. Only two trenches were fully excavated and a third partially opened prior to the general lockdown due to COVID-19, when the site was stopped and closed down. These trenches proved negative for archaeology. Phase two involved excavating the remaining trenches across the site, however the location of one trench was unavailable and based on the negative results of the other trenches and in agreement with the Warwickshire Planning Archaeologist, this trench was not excavated. The archive for the work will be deposited with Warwickshire County Council with accession number T/1827.
