Abstract:		 Fieldwalking as part of an environmental assessment of proposed improvements to the A46 Alcester-Stratford road on behalf of the Highways Agency, located a Romano-British settlement (Warwickshire SMR Ref No WA 7277) marked by a dense scatter of pottery and other material covering an area of 1.5ha just north of the Alcester-Stratford Roman road. Further evaluation of the southern part of the site, involving a magnetometer survey and three trial trenches, tended to confirm the extent of the settlement suggested by the fieldwalking. The trial trenches revealed a high density of pits, ditches, post holes and gullies, some belonging to timber buildings, at least one of which had a tiled roof. The southernmost trench revealed the Roman road, surviving c25m north of the existing road. The pottery from the settlement would seem to indicate occupation throughout the Roman period. The functional composition and proportion of fine wares suggest that this was a rural farming settlement of no particular pretensions.[AIP]
