This collection comprises of reports, images, GIS data, site records and an archive decision record from an archaeological recording carried out by AOC Archaeology Group between May and June 2018 during a monitored topsoil strip at Hunningham Road, near Offchurch, Warwickshire, during ground breaking works associated with the diversion of a high pressure gas main (Utility Area TX05).
The site is located 200m to the north east of Offchurch, and approximately 5km east of Leamington Spa (centred on NGR SP 436580 266349).
Archaeological recording aimed to identify the location, extent, survival and significance of potential heritage assets within the site. The archaeological recording also aimed to contribute to the following specific HERDS Knowledge Creation objectives:
The evaluation met its primary objective, which was to determine the nature of any surviving archaeological features or deposits within the site. Two archaeological features were recorded during the archaeological works, neither of which had dating evidence. No dateable finds were retrieved from the stripped topsoil. There are no results of consequence which contribute to the wider historical context of the area. The stripping of the topsoil revealed evidence of modern cultivation truncating the very top surface of the underlying natural deposits. This cultivation evidence was not thought to be remains of ridge and furrow that was suggested within the geophysical survey.
No artefactual material was recovered during the stripping of the topsoil. The stripping of the topsoil revealed evidence of modern cultivation truncating the very top surface of the underlying natural deposits. This cultivation evidence was not thought to be remains of ridge and furrow that was suggested within the geophysical survey.
Due to the lack of significant and dateable archaeological features present at this site there will be no recommendation for formal publication of the results.
