Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Stratford-on-Avon District Council for a two storey rear extension at 64 Banbury Road Warwickshire, (Planning Ref. 17/01443/FUL). Archaeology Warwickshire had previously been commissioned to undertake an archaeological assessment of the site in July 2017. The assessment reported that the development site lies within an area of High Sensitivity defined in the Historic Environment Assessment of Local Service Villages, Stratford-on-Avon District, County of Warwickshire (AOC 2012) and Stratford-on-Avon District Council have therefore requested a site specific archaeological assessment be submitted with the application. Archaeology Warwickshire have assessed the impact on the development on the potential archaeological remains and have concluded that an archaeological watching brief carried out during the groundworks, secured by condition, would be a proportionate approach to mitigate the disturbance (Kleisoura 2017). The programme of observation recorded what appeared to be the full section of a pit which seemed likely to be derived early in antiquity. Although not precisely datable, the nature of its fill suggested that it could be prehistoric. Prehistoric pits are known in the region (Sausins 2013). To provide the earliest example in the wider vicinity, a small group of probable Early Neolithic features incorporating pits containing small crumbs of pottery and similar fills to this was recorded by the author on the west side of Pillerton Priors (Pearson 2018), approximately 1.8km southwest of the application area. Consequently, it is within reason to consider the possibility of the pit in association with some form of prehistoric activity. |
