Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation and excavation was undertaken in stages by Cotswold Archaeology between December 2016 and August 2017 at Back Lane, Long Lawford, Rugby, Warwickshire. The investigation areas were located between Back Lane and Coventry Road south-east of Long Lawford and comprised two programmes of evaluation and two programmes of open area excavation. The evaluation at the Back Lane site comprised twenty 30m by 1.8m trenches across the western half of the site, which took place on an ad hoc basis as the land became available. The two foci of excavation lay in the south central part of the site and at the western end. The evaluation off Coventry Road, Long Lawford was undertaken in the fields south of the Back Lane site and comprised forty five, 50m by 1.8m trenches. The evaluation at Back Lane identified one area of interest, at the west end of the site, which whilst indicating only evidence of possible (undated) pits and a ditch, still suggested a potential for the presence of more extensive buried archaeological remains. Concurrent with the evaluation phase, Area B, situated more centrally within the main Back Lane site, was excavated. A number of furrows and undated ditches of indeterminate use, a posthole and extensive bioturbation were recorded. A second area, Area C, was excavated on the basis of the evidence of the preceding evaluation at the western end of the site. This, however, revealed little evidence of archaeological significance with the exception of a ditch containing six sherds of medieval pottery and a small postmedieval pit with two residual sherds of medieval pottery. The investigations at Back Lane point predominantly, on that basis, toward use as part of the prevailing medieval / post-medieval agricultural landscape in the hinterland of nearby settlement. Proximity to earlier, prehistoric activity in the east of the Back Lane site could also suggest these areas to be representative of hinterland agricultural usage at that time too.
