Abstract:		 Between Thursday 26th July and Friday 3rd August 2018, Oxford Archaeology (OA) undertook the excavation of an area measuring 30m by 30m at land adjacent to Rokeby Primary School, Rugby, Warwickshire, prior to the development of the site for sports pitches. The excavation area was targeted on NW-SE aligned ditch identified during the trial trench evaluation previously completed by OA. In addition to the previously identified Roman ditch, a further NE-SW aligned linear feature and a number of other possible features of varying sizes were uncovered. The results of the excavation confirmed the presence of the Roman ditch recorded during the evaluation, the shallow nature of the features suggests they have been heavily truncated. The evaluation results identified a programme of cut and fill landscaping undertaken across the site associated with the levelling of the area to create playing fields during the construction of the original school in the late 1950s. The results of this excavation suggest that while archaeological remains are likely to have been present within the area, little to no trace has survived the previous landscaping of the site.
