Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd (hereafter 'the Client') to carry out a programme of evaluation trenching on a single parcel of land to the south of Bishop's Tachbrook (hereafter 'the Site') centred on NGR SP 430990 260700 in advance of a proposed residential development by Bloor Homes Midlands The evaluation comprised the excavation of twenty-six trenches in order to determine the archaeological potential of the Site and characterise any remains that may survive prior to redevelopment. This equated to 2,600m2 of trenching across the 8.4ha development area. The Site had been subject to a Desk Based Assessment (CgMs 2014) which included an overview of the archaeological potential of the Site. The Site had also been subject to a geophysical survey (Stratascan 2014). Both the Desk Based Assessment and geophysical survey demonstrated a low archaeological potential for the Site. The evaluation identified several linear features, the excavation of which revealed ridge and furrow containing artefacts of a Post-medieval and modern date. In addition to this, a network of modern ceramic field drains were also found following excavation, often cutting the ridge and furrow. The examination of other potential features revealed bioturbation and natural undulations. No significant archaeological features were revealed. The project archive has been compiled according to the Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) (Wessex Archaeology 2014) and is fully cross-referenced and indexed. It is currently held by Wessex Archaeology under the project code 106270 and will be transferred to the Warwickshire Museum Service under an accession number to be issued in due course. |
