Abstract:		 Archaeological excavations were undertaken in the Market Square at Atherstone in July 1994 on behalf of North Warwickshire Borough Council, in advance of environmental improvements. Three trial trenches were followed by the excavation of a larger area measuring 26m x 14m. The work revealed a series of rough cobble and rubble surfaces belonging to the medieval market place, surviving under later make up. The surfaces, the earliest of which dated to the 14th/15th century, were cut by post settings for a medieval timber structure and by medieval and later pits. A large quantity of column fragments was found reused as rubble. These will have derived from a later 16th/17th century market building that is shown on the east side of the market place on 18th century maps. This building was single storeyed and open sided with its roof supported on columns. It was demolished in the early 19th century when a new Market Hall and Assembly Room was built. The foundations of this later building were also uncovered, along with features relating to its use and subsequent demolition in 1963.[AIP]
