Abstract: |
The site at Chesterton is part of a complex of earthworks, possibly relating to a displaced medieval village known as Church End, Chesterton (SAM no. 35105, Warwicks 106). Among these earthworks is a raised flat platform (the purported site of a fifteenth century manor house) around which an irregular moat survives. During the summer of 2002, the northern bank of the moat was suffering damage through an infestation of rabbits. Large amounts of highly decorated medieval window glass were recovered from the burrows' upcast by the Warwickshire Archaeology Research Team (WART), who alerted the Region to the problem. CfA undertook the evaluation to assist the West Midlands Region in their efforts to find a solution to this Scheduled Ancient Monument management problem. The results of the evaluation served to inform discussions over the immediate management of the monument as well as assisting in a reinterpretation of the site within the landscape. |
