Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during September 2018 at land south of Owlet End, The Close, Clifford Cambers, Warwickshire, CV37 8HS during residential development of the site. The OS 1886 map also shows Owlet End situated at the north-west end of the village on the floodplain between the main road and the River Stour. The historic core of the medieval village lies further to the south-east. Analysis of the fabric of the building suggests that it was constructed during the late C17 and subsequently divided into three cottages by 1886. The results of the excavation from the field investigation on the south side of the house were negative. The stratigraphic sequence of deposits recorded comprised river gravels (Second Terrace) overlain by layers of undated relict subsoil and more recent topsoil. The evidence suggesting an earlier open rural environment with little or no human activity before the late C17 and the lack of any residual finds from before this date supported this interpretation. An evaluation carried out on the north-west side of Owlet End in connection with a separate application for residential development identified a ditch aligned north-east to south-west producing some sherds of Roman-British pottery and a large quantity of animal bone. The evidence suggested contemporary occupation nearby. |
