Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on land adjacent to Bishopton Lane on the north western edge of Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire covering 25ha. The survey located a number of enclosures, ditches and pits likely to indicate Romano-British occupation of the high ground at the south western end of the site. The anomalies correlate with a surface scatter of Roman pottery and burnt, fire-cracked pebbles. However, the majority of the anomalies throughout the survey areas relate to former ridge and furrow and removed land boundaries, indicating that the site has been used for agricultural purposes, possibly since the Medieval period. |
