Abstract: |
The main aim of the work was to record any archaeological remains disturbed by the development, to collate the records in an archaeological archive and present the significant aspects of the archive in a report for dissemination.
The secondary aim was to form an understanding of the remains recorded in terms of their character and date, and to place the evidence in its local and regional context.
The objective of the work was a programme of controlled excavation to development formation levels, or the geological natural, whichever the higher.
The work undertaken involved the examination of early map evidence as well as
records of archaeological remains in the area and local historical journals and other publications.
An experienced archaeologist was made available for each day of ground
disturbance when notified by the client in accordance with WSI/Brief and planning condition. The scheme of development works agreed between the Planning Archaeologist and the developer, was designed to minimise the impact of the new extension on the medieval burials identified during the archaeological evaluation. A license authorising the removal or disturbance of human remains was sought by Archaeology Warwickshire and was obtained from the Ministry of Justice (072/106; 13-0195) under section 25 of the Burial Act 1857. An archaeologist was present to record any archaeological finds or features uncovered by the groundworks. The small fragments of human bone that were encountered during the excavations came from previously disturbed inhumations. No further disturbance to any burials took place during the groundworks. As previously recorded in an evaluation of the site the watching brief confirmed the presence of a graveyard soil and that the medieval churchyard of St Lawrence church extended across this site. No Roman or medieval artefacts were found during the works, which was largely due to the limited depth of the excavations. |
