Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in May 2013 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf on behalf of Nexus heritage acting for J.S. Bloor (Services) Ltd, and William Davis Ltd on land south of Back Lane, Long Lawford, Warwickshire. The fieldwork was undertaken as a preliminary to the submission of a planning application for the construction of a residential development, and following a geophysical survey, in order to assess the potential impact of the development on any archaeological remains as may have been present. The evaluation produced evidence of late Iron Age or Romano-British archaeological activity in the form of several linear features or ditches, likely demarcating field and/or stock enclosures in addition to evidence for medieval ridge and furrow cultivation in the form of well-preserved standing earthworks.. Most of the activity lay to the far east of the site and it seems likely that it represents the edge of more intensive activity outside the proposed development area. The presence of burnt clay and the broken fragments of an iron tyre hints at the potential for settlement and possibly ceremonial/burial deposits in the vicinity. |
