Introduction

This collections comprises of archive scans registers, decision record logs, photographs and reports from a trial trench evaluation carried out by Connect Archaeology at Boddington Heave, Wormleighton, Warwickshire between 14th January 2019 and 27th November 2020.

Project Summary

The work comprised the trial trenching evaluation of the 56ha heave site across three phases of work. Two-hundred and twenty trenches were excavated across the site. The trenching was informed by a geophysical survey that had identified concentrations of prehistoric and Roman activity across the Boddington Heave site. The results of the geophysical survey were largely confirmed by the trial trenching. Namely two main later-prehistoric Late Iron Age/ Roman multi-phase settlements and a Banjo Enclosure dated to the Iron Age, which also exhibited some limited evidence of later Roman activity.

Re-Use Value Statement

The Wormleighton evaluations archive can be considered as part of the wider HS2 archive and as such has re-use value.

The site has value on its own as it identified two main later-prehistoric Late Iron Age/ Roman multi-phase settlements and a Banjo Enclosure dated to the Iron Age. The evidence contributes to the corpus of such sites in Britain.

The site was later excavated and the evidence from the evaluation will be valuable in conjunction with the evidence from the excavation.
