Abstract: |
IREEF – UK Logistics Propco Limited commissioned Allen Archaeology Limited to carry out an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching, after the granting of a planning application for an employment development on land off Wilsons Lane, Exhall, Warwickshire. The evaluation methodology entailed the excavation of 12 trenches 30m long and approximately 1.8m wide and 2 trenches 20m long and approximately 1.8m wide (Trenches 2 and 5). No archaeological features or finds were noted in any of the 14 trenches placed within the proposed development area. This result is in keeping with the known archaeological and historical background of the site. However, the western side of the site had remnants of a former plough soil which may could potentially preserve archaeology west of the current site limit. Modern material was noted in Trenches 3, 4 and 14 suggesting levelling of the site. A pond seen in Trench 3 is on an 1887 map of Exhall. The same map also shows trees to the south of the current pond. The rooting in Trench 13 is probably the result of these trees. |
