Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Hampton Lane, Meriden, Warwickshire (NGR 423794, 282167). It was undertaken at the instruction of CgMs Consulting on behalf oftheir client, David Wilson Homes (Mercia), who intend to construct a recreational ground and associated car park at land to the south of Main Road and Hampton Lane, Meriden for which planning permission has been granted (reference 2003/2614). The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological deposits were present and if so to indicate their extent, state of preservation, date, type, vulnerability and documentation. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were observed in the monitored areas. The topsoils were well sorted and mixed with stones showing agricultural usage, and substantial quantities of post-medieval and modern artefactual material were recorded within the subsoil. The inclusion of quantities of coal in the topsoil in the area of the pavilion suggests that this area may have been used as a dumping ground in the modern period. |
