Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer (gradiometer) survey. It has been prepared for SLR Consulting on behalf of Jaguar Land Rover Limited in connection with future development at the above site. The work was completed according to a Written Scheme of Investigation (SLR, 2016) approved by Warwickshire County Council's Planning Archaeologist. Forty-eight magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits and features. Of these, three extended groups, and perhaps a fourth group, represent historical ridge-and-furrow recorded on aerial photographs. One group represents a former field boundary recorded on historical maps which was erected over a ploughing headland as indicated by the ridge-and-furrow patterns. A complex pattern of magnetic anomaly groups in the southern survey area probably indicates the presence of an area of former occupation with possible enclosures and two potential sub-circular structures. Within this pattern, four anomaly groups may indicate the presence of heated deposits associated with craft or industrial activities. One group within the pattern and one to the southwest may represent in-situ heated deposits from kilns or furnaces although this is not certain. Five groups may represent large pits to the southwest of the anomaly complex. The remaining anomaly groups outwith the complex anomaly pattern discussed above have characteristics typical of those representing former field and enclosure boundaries of unknown origin. |
