Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological mitigation works carried out by Connect Archaeology as part of HS2 Historic Environment Works at WP29C Fosse Way, Offchurch / River Leam, Archaeological Mitigation Area 3. Mitigation Area 3 had been identified as having archaeological potential during previous archaeological investigationsThe majority of the archaeological features uncovered and excavated in Mitigation Area 3 are of Middle-Late Iron Age date. They comprise a discrete sub-rectangular enclosure (Enclosure 1) located towards the western edge of the mitigation area, and two roughly circular structures (Structures 1 and 2), situated in the central and eastern parts of the mitigation area respectively. A small number of other features, mainly small sections of gullies, probably for drainage, and pits, likely for rubbish discard, were also present. In sum, the nature of the evidence is indicative of a small, unenclosed domestic later Iron Age settlement - perhaps akin to a hamlet. The dating evidence (pottery) suggests that the site is likely of a single phase and comprised two roundhouses and an associated enclosure.
