Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in January and February 2018 on land south of Crewe Lane, Kenilworth. Warwickshire. A total of ninety-one trenches was excavated, the majority of which either contained no archaeology at all, or only medieval/post-medieval furrows. Only two localised areas of the site were found to contain archaeological features pre-dating the medieval period. These comprised a possible middle Iron Age ditch in the south-eastern part of the site and a Roman cremation and two possible wall foundations in the north-eastern corner. These remains had been truncated by later activity. Medieval/post-medieval agricultural activity is represented by the remains of ridge and furrow earthworks distributed across most of the site. The modern activity identified on site includes the abandonment of an east/west orientated field boundary in the first half of the 19th century, the insertion of extensive land drainage across parts of the site and a pit to the south of Crewe Farm. A low level of undated features were found and included four 'fire pits' (pits containing charcoal), which were not found in association with any other features or deposits, and two ditches, three pits and two postholes.
