Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between July and August 2010 on land proposed as Rugby Gateway (Phase 1 & 2), Warwickshire. One hundred and sixty five trenches, several of which were located on anomalies identified during a preceding geophysical survey, were excavated.
The earliest features encountered consisted of a gully and a concentration of postholes and pits, one containing Early to Middle Bronze Age pottery, within the north-eastern part of the site. A Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age curvilinear gully and pit, concentrations of Middle to Late Iron Age pits, postholes and gullies, an enclosure of Late Iron Age to Early Roman date, and later Roman postholes and gullies were also encountered within this part of the site. Numerous undated pits, gullies and postholes were also encountered within the site, with concentrations apparent within the north-eastern part of the site and along its western periphery.
Evidence of medieval and/or post-medieval agricultural practice, comprising ploughed-out ridge and furrow cultivation remains, was identified throughout the site. Post-medieval and modern features identified included former field boundary ditches, a pond, pits, field drains
and an area of disturbed ground thought to relate to construction of the adjacent M6 motorway |
