Introduction
Project Summary
This collection comprises reports, images, spreadsheets, GIS data, and site records from a trial trenching evaluation conducted at Stoney Thorpe, Southam, Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, as part of HS2 Phase One. Undertaken by Connect Archaeology between January and February 2020, the excavation involved 14 trenches, revealing furrows and plough scars associated with medieval and post-medieval agricultural activity. Additionally, a modern pit was recorded. The site is located adjacent to Stoney Thorpe Deserted Medieval Village, and the work formed part of the enabling works for HS2.
Re-Use Value Statement
The Stoney Thorpe trial trenching evaluation 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 medieval and post-medieval agricultural activity. This evidence contributes to the corpus of such sites in Britain.
