Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd undertook a detailed magnetometer survey at land off Coventry Road, Cawston, near Rugby in Warwickshire. The survey was carried out at the request of Archaeology Warwickshire as part of an archaeological assessment of the 5ha site, which has been outlined for residential development. The results demonstrate that a positive linear anomaly extends throughout much of the site and appears to relate to a linear boundary feature. Although the site is immediately adjacent to a number of cropmark features, possibly relating to prehistoric settlement, the linear feature appears to bound former ridge and furrow, and also may have continued eastwards and south westwards as former land boundaries mapped during the 20th century. Within the western part of the site are a number of positive linear responses, and although these lack definition they appear to have been truncated by the former ridge and furrow. It is possible, therefore, that these relate to cut, ditch-like features and an archaeological origin should be considered. The site contains a number of isolated positive discrete, linear and more amorphous responses, and it is not clear if these relate to cut ditch-like and pit-like features and possible ridge and furrow, or if some are natural in origin. |
