Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Laing O Rourke Infrastructure to undertake an archaeological watching brief to mitigate the potential loss of archaeological remains during the insertion of a water main at Birch Coppice, Warwickshire from national grid reference 426705, 299762 to 428642, 292879. The scheme was situated along roads and in arable land in North Warwickshire west of Atherstone. From the north, the scheme runs through the civil parishes of Baddesley Ensor, Baxterly, Bentley and Ansley. The watching brief was undertaken between the March 9th and May 6th 2011 and comprised monitoring the removal of topsoil and the excavation of the pipe trench within all open fields and within the verge and highway of Green Lane. The only archaeological features found, relating to the mining industry, were identified in Areas 1 and 2 at the northern end of the Scheme. A flint blade was discovered in the subsoil in Area 4 however no associated features were identified. |
