Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of the site was undertaken following its allocation in the Stratford-upon-Avon District Local Plan for residential and associated uses. The evaluation, which consisted of background research, fieldwalking, geophysical survey and the excavation of 22 trial trenches (20 x 1.6m by 30m, one x 15m by 1.6m, 1 x 12m by 1.6m) recovered some evidence of early activity. A scatter of mainly Neolithic and some Bronze Age flintwork was found in the centre of the site although no contemporary below-ground features had survived. A trackway flanked by drainage ditches leading from the Romano-British village known 600m to the west ran across the site and a few undated pits and gullies, the latter perhaps belonging to an associated Roman field system were recorded. Some slight remains of medieval ridge and furrow belonging to the open fields of Tiddington were also detected. None of the remains appeared to be of more than local significance. [Au(adp)] |
