Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the NHS Estates Business Agency at George Eliot Hospital, Nuneaton, Warwickshire (NGR SP 3556 9047; SMR ref. EWA 7556). No archaeological features, structures or horizons were identified. Natural glacial clay was observed directly below the gravel hardcore associated with the modern tarmac surface. Small patches of relict soil were noted within the surface of the clay, which was frequently disturbed by modern services and larger areas of redeposited clay with coal dust and modern waste. A small quantity of pottery was recovered, comprising largely post-medieval sherds plus a few medieval and one Roman sherd. The area is considered to have been the subject of substantial groundworks associated with the construction of the present car park in the later 20th century, which involved the removal of all horizons down into the natural clay.
