Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were commissioned by Morgan Sindall on behalf of Severn Trent Water, to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Abbey Fields, Kenilworth, Warwickshire (NGR SP 428806 272168 and NGR SP 428255 272450). This work follows a planning application for the excavation of two trial holes and the installation of water pipe sluice valves. English Heritage granted Scheduled Monument Consent for the development, on the condition an archaeological watching brief be undertaken during the groundworks. The work is required as the site lies within the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Kenilworth Abbey (St Mary's, NM No 1021079). The Scheduled Ancient Monument of Kenilworth Abbey covers a considerable area within the town of Kenilworth and contains the structural remains of the Abbey Gate House, a barn and remnants of the church and cloister range. There was high archaeological potential for the discovery of buried structural remains associated with the Abbey, including the Abbey Mill, a possible windmill mound and possible buildings to the south of the brook. Phase one of the archaeological watching brief was undertaken over six days between 13/08/2013 and 21/08/2013. The watching brief monitored the excavation of two trial holes located in the north-west and south-east corner of Abbey Fields park. No archaeological remains were noted. |
