Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology over the course of November and December 2017, April, May, June, and September 2018 as part of continuing phases of investigation in advance of the development of the Radio Station Rugby Central Primary Street Green and Grey Infrastructure; an element of the of the wider Rugby SUE development. The majority of trenches excavated contained no archaeological remains. Archaeological remains or potential remains were uncovered in seventeen trenches. Despite the archaeological potential of the wider application area the evaluation identified very little of archaeological significance. The evidence to date, very few sherds of Late Iron Age to Early Roman date and two of medieval to post-medieval date probably hints at a focus of settlement some distance to the south and east of the present site, with little or no potential for the presence of such activity as one moves further to the north and west. The absence of archaeological evidence so far identified could well indicate that settlement remains and earlier field systems identified in Key Phases 1 and 2, either did not extend as far north as this part of Key Phase 3, or that they may have been removed during later agricultural activity associated with ridge and furrow agricultural practices, and as a result of intensive modern cable network activity of the former Rugby Radio Station. |
