Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land off The Long Shoot (Phase 2), Nuneaton, Warwickshire (NGR SP 389 929). It was undertaken on behalf of Lanpro Services, whose client Bellway Homes West Midlands intends to develop the site for housing, for which outline planning permission has been granted. The site consisted of open fields and field boundaries and lay on the eastern edge of Nuneaton town centre. The site is south-west of the A5, Watling Street, an old Roman road, with a housing development to the west and more open fields to the north and east. Thirty nine trenches were excavated across the site. The trenches revealed the natural Mercian mudstone throughout the site, at 0.30-0.60m below the current ground surface. Evidence of truncated ridge and furrow was recorded in some of the trenches, a modern field boundary in the centre of the site and further areas of modern disturbance elsewhere. No significant archaeological finds, deposits or features were recorded. All finds were of later post-medieval and modern date and were not retained. All of the features recorded related to medieval/post-medieval agricultural practices on the site and later modern disturbance. |
