Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land off Park Lane, Great Alne, Warwickshire (NGR SP 11906 59607). It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd, acting on behalf of Mr and Mrs Iwan Jones, who intends to construct a residential dwelling, for which a planning application has been submitted. The features revealed during the evaluation reveal a low level of activity in a medieval agricultural landscape. There was no evidence for any settlement features, indicating that the site was limited to peripheral activity on the edge of the village of Great Alne. The presence of a single sherd of 13th to 14th century pottery dates the features but only highlights the sparsity of material finds from the site, and might suggest a relatively short period of use. Such a landscape has been similarly identified at Maudsley Park to the north-east of the site, where a number of truncated ditches dating from the 12th to 13th century were superseded by later medieval and post-medieval furrows. Whilst no furrows were identified here, some level of later truncation was evident by the presence of a series of dumped deposits extending into the 20th century. |
