Land at Arden Heath Farm Stratford-upon-Avon Warwickshire

During September 2013, Oxford Archaeology undertook an evaluation at Arden
Heath Farm, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire in advance of proposals for
development. Archaeological remains were identified in just six of a total of 73
trenches that were excavated. These remains were concentrated in the SE corner
of the evaluation area and included several postholes, possibly belonging to a
medieval fence line or structure, and probable prehistoric tree throw pits. Away from
this area an undated linear gully was found on the north side of the site and its
location corresponded with two parallel linears identified by the geophysical survey.
This feature remains undated. Two undated postholes (probably modern) were also
found in the northern area of the evaluation, but otherwise the evaluation confirmed
the sites limited archaeological interest identified by the prior geophysical survey
