Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out ahead of comprehensive redevelopment of 100 hectares of land for "Employment and Housing". A total of 50 trenches were excavated mechanically under close archaeological supervision. The evaluation was successful in substantiating the existence of the site of the medieval village of Coton. The trenches also confirmed the features identified by a previous geophysical survey. A number of additional features were also located while others were shown to be relics of medieval ridge and furrow. There were only very insubstantial remains of any of the buildings associated with the village, at least in the form of structural elements, although negative features were plentiful. The evaluation also showed there to be phases of activity of Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age, and Iron Age date, but no evidence for the existence of the possible Saxon cemetery was found.
