Abstract: |
A series of eight archaeological sites were excavated in advance of the construction of the pipeline. Evidence of activity from the earlier Neolithic to the Anglo-Saxon period was recorded along the 32km route. At Church Lawford (Area D), a Neolithic enclosure ditch was associated with an extensive pit group. On the opposite bank of the Avon in King's Newnham (Area C), an unenclosed pit group was excavated with pottery of a similar date range to that of Area D. In Harbury (Area G), a single human cremation lay close by an inverted urn of possible Neolithic date. At Frankton (Area E) a D-shaped enclosure inter-linked with a ring-ditch were thought to have been of Bronze Age or Iron Age origin; these were regionally significant. Middle to Late Iron Age enclosure at Long Itchington (Area B1) was overlain by a Romano-British field system belonging to a nearby villa. Two corndrying ovens were excavated on the edge of the villa site (Area B2). This area also produced limited evidence for Anglo-Saxon activity. Romano-British settlement was encountered near Chesterton (Area H) in what could have been a low status suburb of the important Roman town; this also revealed possible Anglo-Saxon activity. Part of a Romano-British farmstead (Area A) examined at Harborough Magna produced waterlogged pollen and macrofossils. [Au(abr)] |
