Abstract:		 The site lies within the probable limits of the medieval settlement of Harbury. It was therefore a condition of planning permission that the development be accompanied by a programme of archaeological investigation.A programme of fieldwork consisting of the archaeological observation of soil stripping and foundation trenches, in accordance with a Brief prepared by the County Planning Archaeologist on behalf of the Planning Authority (April 2012) was commissioned The work undertaken involved the examination of early map evidence as well as records of archaeological remains in the area, local historical journals and other publications. Fieldwork involved an archaeologist being present during groundworks. As the work progressed it became evident that the observation of all the groundworks involved in the development would not be fruitful. The Planning Archaeologist therefore agreed that the mitigation could be concluded once the major ground reductions and a cross-section of trenches had been observed. Some lias stone found in a clump, could have been part of a wall but this remains uncertain. The watching brief has shown that Field House stands within part of the medieval village that was occupied from the late Saxon period through to the first half of the 12th century. The site was later incorporated in the grounds of Harbury House, a 17th-18th century development which appears to have encompassed land formerly occupied by the eastern end of the medieval village. This area has been overbuilt since the 1970s but the grounds of Field House are likely to contain more evidence of medieval settlement.
