Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a site which lay adjacent to a Roman and medieval crossing point of the River Avon. Mesolithic and Neolithic flintwork had been found nearby. Several post-medieval Listed Buildings lay at the site itself, including a former toll house dating from 1814, which, in association with Clopton Bridge, was a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Warwickshire No. 24) and a Grade I Listed structure. A warehouse and two structures relating to a tramway were Grade II Listed Buildings, whilst a steam engine house and a saw mill also lay on the site. During the evaluation, no surviving evidence for activity pre-dating the post-medieval period was revealed. Make-up layers connected with the development of the site as a wharf and timber yard in the 1820s-1830s were recorded above a late medieval/post-medieval ground surface, which in turn overlay deep layers of undated alluvium.
