Abstract: |
In June 2016 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology (WAA) undertook a geophysical survey of land at Napton Road, Stockton, Warwickshire. The survey was undertaken Taylor Wimpey (West Midlands), to provide information in relation to a proposed residential development at the site. Previous geophysical survey on land to the south of Napton Road has identified possible medieval rectilinear plot boundaries. Subsequent trial trench evaluation revealed a series of linear boundaries and pits, with dating evidence indicating activity in the 12th and 13th centuries. Prehistoric and Roman remains are also known from the surrounding area. The objective of the geophysical survey was therefore to determine the presence/absence, nature and extent of potential archaeological features within the study area, and the presence/absence of any known modern features within the survey area, which may affect the results. Geomagnetic survey was undertaken over the northern portion of the study area, which comprised uncultivated land at the time of the survey. A number of geophysical anomalies were detected at the site, all of which are believed to be modern in origin. These include at least one service pipe, and other ferrous debris, possibly associated with former allotment gardens at the site. No definite archaeological remains were detected by the geophysical survey. |
