Abstract: |
Following the completion of an archaeological desktop assessment and an archaeological geophysical survey of the site Archaeology (Projects) Warwickshire was commissioned to undertake a phase of trial trenching. The evaluation was designed to provide information on the presence and location of the archaeological resource surviving on the site. The survey took place during July 2013.
The programme of fieldwork, consisting of fourteen trial trenches across the site, and a further four trenches was carried out in July 2013. The evaluation has confirmed some of the results of the magnetometer survey, which showed the presence of medieval ridge and furrow and several linear anomalies. Many of these features cross the trenches and these were shown to be of significant depth and breadth. The ditch at the north-west corner of the site is likely to be part of an enclosure and indicates settlement activity immediately to the north and west of the site and potentially on the site as well.
Undated features not identified in the geophysical work were also revealed and these were likely to have been truncated by medieval and post-medieval activity, but may also be evidence of earlier activity. |
