Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an evaluation on the west side of Vicarage Lane north of Harbury village Warwickshire (NGR SP 37433 59876) and consisted of six trenches. Evidence from the evaluation seems to suggest possible nearby activities during the Romano-British period due to the presence of three residual sherds of pottery within later features; a Post-Medieval gully 5/08 and the lower fill of Medieval pit 5/05. Finds from the various features (ditches and pits) encountered within the trenches seem to suggest a broad date range of between the 11th - 14th and probably 16th centuries. The east - west ditch 4/05 possibly represents part of a former boundary along the southern extent of Harbury village from the Medieval period onwards and the ditches encountered in Trenches 1, 2, 3, and 4 are probably part of a co-axial field system of a similar date. The various pits and postholes within Trench 5 are typical of refuse pits located at the rear of the Medieval plots. The trenches revealed evidence likely to have related to the former settlement, property division and associated 'back yard' activity of local significance during the Medieval and Post-Medieval periods. |
