Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Shirley Parkgate, Stratford Road, Solihull (NGR SP 11693 79570). The archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of CgMs Consulting, as a condition of planning consent. The latter intends to develop the site for which a planning application has been submitted. This report assesses the significance of any archaeological remains that may potentially be affected by the development. The earliest and most significant features observed, two furrows, are thought to be medieval in date. This shows that the site was under cultivation during the medieval period and lay outside the core of the medieval settlement. Ceramic land drains of the post-medieval period indicate that the site continued to be under agricultural use until the construction of residential and commercial properties, including a Territorial Army centre, from the mid 20th century. Large areas of the site appear to have been damaged or truncated due to this construction and subsequent demolition. The construction of a large car park, which first appears on the 1969 Ordnance Survey map, also appears to have truncated a large area of the site.
