Abstract: |
Archaeology Warwickshire carried out an archaeological excavation at Church Lane Ravenstone on behalf of Cameron Homes. Trial trenching had identified a hint of Roman period activity and medieval settlement remains that related to properties along Church Lane. The excavations revealed a sequence of boundaries at right angles to Church Lane which were probably formally laid out as property boundaries in the 13th century. They continued to be used until at least 1550. Continuity of use following this period is uncertain as the settlement may have shrunk and the land subsumed into pasture. The areas examined were a section across the back plots of at least 4 properties. A small number of pits were examined although none of them yielded any evidence of function. Pottery from their fills was largely consistent with that found in the boundary features. The northernmost boundary alignment was re-established by the 19th century. The appearance of the school may account for the open field shown on late 19th-century mapping. The construction of the Victorian school on the frontage of Church Lane had resulted in the removal of any potential archaeological features. |
