Abstract: |
The main aim of the work was to record any archaeological remains disturbed by the development, to collate the records in an archaeological archive and present the significant aspects of the archive in a report for dissemination. The secondary aim was to form an understanding of the remains recorded in terms of their character and date, and to place the evidence in its local and regional context. The objective of the work was to conduct an archaeological watching brief during the construction phase of the development. The watching brief was carried out in accordance with the Brief for Archaeological Work (January 2013) issued by the County Planning Archaeologist. The watching brief consisted of the observation of site stripping, ground reductions, foundation trenches, service trenches and any other subsurface disturbance associated with the development. All archaeological work was undertaken in accordance with Archaeology (Projects) Warwickshire Procedures Manual (revised 2011) and to the appropriate Standard and Guidance of the Institute for Archaeologists. A stone wall, recorded at a depth of 1.30m below the present ground surface, was associated with a sherd of Roman pottery and is thought likely to have been of Roman date. The soil overlying this would represent the build-up of material over the subsequent centuries, when the land in this area was in agricultural use. |
