Abstract:		 CFA Archaeology Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation on a proposed housing development on land south of Southam Road, Radford Semele, Warwickshire (centred on SP 34846 64305). The evaluation area comprised a cultivated field 5.78ha in extent and an extension for a flood attenuation area totalling 7.84ha. The work was carried out between the 26th of April and 6th of May 2016 for Taylor Wimpey. Thirty-two trenches were excavated targeted on geophysical anomalies identified in geophysical survey covering approximately 3 ha in indicating an archaeological site. The western half of the Site revealed a series of ditches, pits and post holes below a deep plough soil dating to the Roman period/Iron Age, corresponding closely to the geophysical anomalies. The densest concentration of features, many of which were intercutting, were found in the north-eastern part of the Site. The large amounts of fine and well decorated pottery recovered from features in this area suggest that there was an Iron Age and Roman settlement of relatively high status. An enclosure ditch was found running around the south and east sides of the settlement. Other ditches discovered in the evaluation appear to be tracks and enclosures for stock management. To the east of the settlement was a droveway running NW-SE half way along the field. Few features were found east of this droveway apart from a few isolated pits and later medieval / post medieval furrows. Four trenches were excavated in an area where flood attenuation works are proposed. These revealed a modern pit and several shallow ditches, probably field boundaries, that may be Roman or Iron Age; a single Cu alloy object was recovered from one of the ditches.
