Watching brief at Watery Lane, Shipston on Stour

Description of this historic site

Archaeological investigation uncovered evidence of walls dating to either the Medieval or Post Medieval period of settlement in Shipston.

Notes about this historic site

1 A watching brief was carried out during construction work at this location. Wall foundations running N-S were observed, together with the remains of a cobbled surface. These are most likely to be Post Medieval or earlier and to have formed part of the Medieval settlement (WA 6460). In addition, the cob built end wall of the adjacent barn was exposed by demolition work. This is now the only known example of cob walling in Shipston.
