Abstract:		 Archaeological recording was carried out during February and September 2018 at Home Farm, Main Street, Broadwell, Warwickshire, during conversion of an existing barn together with alterations to form a single dwelling house. The Historic Environment Record (HER) has shown that the site lies historically in an area where there is evidence to suggest that settlement began during the Late Iron Age and continued to flourish in Romano-British period possibly centred on a farmstead comprising a D-shaped enclosure north of Home Farm. During the medieval period settlement became focused around the existing village of Broadwell, one of a series of manors documented within the parish. Evidence of this can be seen in the earthwork remains of the deserted dwellings along the southern and eastern edges of the village, including a chapel and a former moat which probably marks the site of the manor house. Archaeological recording was focussed on the excavation work in the former threshing barn and the external drainage. A date incorporated into the wall of the barn indicates it was built in 1811. Medieval carpenters' marks on the roof truss for the west bay show that some timbers are re-used. No archeological deposits or cut features pre-dating the construction of the former barn were observed during the works. Excavation showed that the underlying geology comprised a stiff Lias clay and within the barn this was immediately overlain by the internal floor surfaces consisting of lias stone flooring in each of the bays. In the area of the drainage excavation to the south of the barn, the clay was overlain by the C19 fold yard surface also constructed with Lias stone. This was in turn sealed by a thick deposit of brick and stone rubble which formed the sub-base for the existing C20 concrete yard.
