Abstract: |
Magnetometry was carried out over a single field at Griffins Farm Quarry, Stockton, Warwickshire by Archaeological Surveys Ltd. The survey infilled an area previously unsurveyable during a larger magnetometry survey of the surrounding area which has been identified for a proposed quarry extension. The results indicate an area covering 0.75ha that contains a series of enclosures with at least five ring ditches and a sixth sub-circular feature or ring ditch to the east of the enclosures. There are phases of development, with two ring ditches overlying each other, and also at least one ring ditch contains a large number of pits. Evaluation by Cotswold Archaeology has dated several of these features to the Iron Age and the morphology of the anomalies supports this; however, the evaluation also recorded some Anglo-Saxon pottery within cut features within one trench, but is not possible to determine how many of the geophysical anomalies are associated. Beyond the core of the archaeological features are only a small number of isolated pit-like responses, but it is not possible to determine their archaeological potential. Ridge and furrow is also evident and it has partly truncated many of the earlier cut features. |
