Abstract: |
Evaluation of a cropmark site (Warwickshire SMR Ref No WA 4702) involving fieldwalking, magnetometer survey and trial trenching was carried out as part of an environmental assessment of proposed improvements to the A46 Alcester-Stratford road on behalf of the Highways Agency. No trace was found of any features connected with the cropmarks, and the only finds in their vicinity, apart from a single worked flint (Warwickshire SMR Ref No WA 7275), were post-medieval. It was concluded that the cropmarks, which had only appeared in one year (1965), were non-archaeological in origin. A scatter of Roman pottery on the edge of the area fieldwalked concentrated towards a second cropmark (Warwickshire SMR Ref No WA 6360) to the north west, suggesting that this may represent a Romano-British settlement.[AIP] |
