Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken at Common Lane, Kenilworth, Warwickshire (NGR SP 29879 73181).It was undertaken on behalf of Bloor Homes who have been granted planning permission for the erection of up to 93 dwellings together with open space, drainage infrastructure and access from Common Lane (Resubmission of W/14/0618) by Warwick District Council. Permission was granted subject to conditions including a programme of archaeological works. An archaeological evaluation at a 4% sample of the site had previously been carried out by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA 2017). Fourteen trenches were excavated across the site; these revealed three features of probable Bronze Age date, alongside a number of post-medieval pits of agricultural function, and a poorly built red brick wall. An area to the north, the location of a proposed attenuation tank, could not be included in the archaeological evaluation. Three areas were further identified for excavation; a 25mx25m area around Trench 9, a 25mx25m area around Trench 2 and a 1.8m x 15m area in the location of the proposed attenuation tank. Following consultation with Anna Stocks during excavation, a 10 x 10m area around Trench 7 was also opened around an undated pit. The excavation revealed two modern ditches and four undated pits establishing that the prehistoric activity observed in the evaluation was low-level activity, probably related to agricultural rather than settlement activities.
