Abstract:		 Archaeological investigations were undertaken at Maudslay Park, Great Alne, Warwickshire (NGR SP 12183 59631). They were undertaken on behalf of Cathy Patrick of CgMs Consulting, whose client is developing the site as a retirement village. A programme of archaeological investigation was agreed with the Planning Archaeologist for Warwickshire County Council in relation to ground remediation works at The Meadow, an area of open ground adjacent to the development. The investigations consisted of an archaeological watching brief on a series of geotechnical test pits, an archaeological evaluation and, following the discovery of archaeological features, a small excavation. The investigations revealed elements of a landscape dating to the medieval period. No evidence of any significant settlement features was identified. The excavated features probably all relate to the agricultural landscape or to features which lay on the periphery of the settlement of Great Alne. A number of truncated east to west aligned ditches were identified in one of the excavation areas and it is possible that these may represent medieval plot boundaries. A small assemblage of pottery suggests they may have been in use in the 12th to 13th centuries indicating the features identified during the works were only in use for a relatively short period of time. Later medieval and postmedieval furrows, which were identified across the entire site, cut these features. The environmental evidence from the site was limited with only small quantities of charcoal and charred plant remains surviving.
