Notes about this historic site
1 An evaluation in advance of development was carried out by the Warwickshire Museum in June 1992. The ditch of a possible Iron Age hillfort (PRN 6119) was examined together with a possible Iron Age gully and other features containing daub and flintwork (cf. PRN 6399). Archaeobotanical sampling from the black layer in trench 9 which produced some Iron Age material found charcoal but no plant remains.
2 Observation of topsoil stripping and foundation trenches only revealed a single flint fragment, a few Romano British sherds, and some fragments of medieval tile.
