Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land east of M42 Junction 10, Tamworth, North Warwickshire, in advance of proposed industrial/warehouses/distribution development. The Site had previously been the subject of a desk-based assessment and geophysical invesitgation. The latter survey indicated the potential for below ground remains including a probable ditched enclosure in the western part of the SIte. The evalaution confirmed an archaeological origin for the ditched enclosure, with this appearing to form a potential settlement focus within the local landscape during the Middle-Late Iron Age. A number of relict field boundary ditches were encountered during the evaluation. The majority of these contained no dating evidence, although several corresponded with field divisions marked on 19th- and 20th-century mapping. The remainder could be of any date. A very small quantity of finds was recovered during the evaluation. Environmental samples contain evidence for cereal agriculture (principally emmer and spelt wheat and barley), but generally the flots were small and there is no indication that the Site is of any enhanced palaeoenvironmental significance. The combined results of the geophysical survey and evaluation trenching are of sufficient quality to enable an informed mitigation strategy to be drawn up if required. The complete archive will be deposited with Warwickshire Museum.
