Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Bidford Grange Golf Course, Stratford Road, Bidford-on Avon, Warwickshire (NGR 411440, 251785). It was undertaken on behalf of Daniel Broadhurst, who intends to construct 25 log cabins on part of the site of the former golf course, for which a planning application has been submitted. Thirteen trenches were excavated across the site, the locations of which were informed by an earlier geophysical survey. The majority were blank but two trenches to the east of the site contained features of probable early medieval and medieval date. A small quantity of pottery of early medieval pottery was identified in a vertical, flat based linear feature, which has been tentatively identified as a large Sunken Featured Building (SFB), although no postholes were identified in association, and the very good state of preservation indicate that it might be of much later date. Medieval remains were located approximately 80m to the south of the early medieval remains, and consisted of a wall foundation trench, a large rubbish pit and a shallow linear feature. These were located within 10m of each other and probably represent the remains of a medieval building which had been buried in to a large rubbish pit after demolished/collapse. The lack of pottery in these features may suggest the building was not domestic, and was possibly an agricultural building |
