Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Trenport Investments Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Gipsy Lane, Nuneaton, Warwickshire (NGR 436899 289408) in advance of residential development. The evaluation comprised the excavation of eleven trial trenches in line with a Written Scheme of Investigation prepared by Wessex Archaeology and approved by Warwickshire County Council (WCC). These works followed on from a desk-based assessment and, based on the results obtained from a geophysical survey, the trenches were targeted within the areas of proposed development in accordance with a brief from the WCC Planning Archaeologist. The evaluation revealed evidence for a post-medieval field boundary that appears on 19th century OS maps, and corresponded with an east-west aligned geophysical anomaly. Two residual sherds of Romano-British pottery were recovered from the upper fill of a ditch that may hint at earlier activity within the surrounding landscape. A possible ring gully was identified by the geophysical survey in the centre of the Site. No evidence of this feature was found but a natural feature was recorded close to the aforementioned geophysical anomaly. |
