Abstract:		 This document represents an investigation of the potential for archaeological remains on land to the east of Wellesbourne Road, adjacent to Barford House, in Barford, Warwickshire (NGR SP 2703 6054). Previous research on the gravel terrace around Barford has shown that significant archaeological deposits remain of prehistoric and Roman sites. The potential for medieval archaeology is considered to be lower, though still cannot be discounted, but certain surviving evidence indicates that the pastureland was part of the open field system. In the Imperial period, possibly 1795 to 1805 Barford House was constructed and at the same time several enclosures of pastureland of approximately 24 acres, surrounding the House and formal garden areas, were brought into the same ownership to form a larger estate of c.26 acres in total. The initial laying out of the garden followed in subsequent years. The house is a grade II* listed building and has a grade II listed gazebo within its formal gardens. Barford House is not on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens maintained by English Heritage, but it is included on the local council's listings of key parks and gardens. The estate, whilst changing ownership several times over the intervening period, was eventually subdivided by its last single owner with first approx 10 acres of pastureland sold in c.1950's, upon which some new housing and a garden nursery have been built, and a further c.0.6 acres sold in 1962, upon which council owned flats were constructed. In 1970 Barford House and its formal gardens were sold and the remaining pastureland of c. 13 acres sold in 1976. There was a variety of trees planted c.1860-80 around the periphery of the pastureland which have been double fenced to prevent livestock incursion. The pastureland is sporadically grazed by cows, sheep and horses. The trees and hedges have not been maintained.
