Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by St. Modwen Developments Ltd to carry out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on the excavation of geotechnical test pits on land at Meon Vale, Long Marston, Warwickshire (centred on NGR 415913, 247070) prior to a mixed-use development. One potential ditch was exposed within the south-eastern portion of the monitored area. No dating evidence was recovered from the feature, and its archaeological provenance is doubtful. Generally, the strata exposed within the test pits indicate that the original ground level across much of the Site has been impacted by modern truncation and construction. This is thought to relate to the development of military facilities on the Site during the Second World War, and subsequent associated useage. The area with least evidence for ground disturbance lay along the western edge of the Site, although no archaeological remains were visible in any of the geotechnical test pits hereabouts. The narrow width and hazardous depth of the test pits hindered the close examination that probably would have been required to identify any archaeological features of diffuse or subtle appearance. However, in the absence of any artefacts or conspicuous deposits, one can be largely confident that the monitored development has not led to any impact on the archaeological resource.
