Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out on behalf of Seddon Construction Ltd, in advance of housing development on land off Almond Tree Avenue, Coventry. The site lies within the River Sowe Archaeological Constraint Area and was thought likely to contain significant palaeo-environmental data. The evaluation has demonstrated that no significant alluvial deposits are present on the site. A north-south ditch which contained post-medieval finds corresponds with a boundary on 19th century mapping and was associated with a similarly dated east-west ditch. A large modern pit contained tips of material associated with the construction of the Almond tree housing estate. The evaluation demonstrated that no significant archaeological remains will be disturbed by the development. No significant archaeological or palaeo-environmental deposits were recorded in the evaluation trenches. This evidence can be extrapolated to reason that none was recorded in the previous geotechnical field investigations. A shallow thin alluvium and an incipit alluvial B horizon in the northern part of Trench 4 indicate that floodplain alluvium was so slight so as not to form formal alluvial deposits, but is expressed in a slightly alluvial nature of the lower horizon of a former soil.
