Abstract: |
In January 2006 Birmingham Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation at the Westwood Campus Tennis Courts, off Kirby Corner Road, University of Warwick, Coventry (NGR SP 2971 7676). The site was thought to be of possible archaeological significance due to the presence of an Iron Age 'banjo' enclosure, to the south, and earthworks associated with the probable medieval Sownes Moat, to the east. The evaluation was required to provide more archaeological information, prior to the submission of a planning application for the construction of a proposed indoor tennis centre building. A total of six trial trenches and two geotechnical test pits were excavated. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered and no evidence of Iron age or medieval activity was identified. A layer of re-deposited clay was encountered in all of the trenches, which was thought to be associated with landscaping operations undertaken in the area, probably during the 1960s. |
