The Oxford Archaeological UniL carried out a field evaluation at Hockley Lane, Ettington, Warwickshire on the behalf of Townfield Estates, in advance of a proposed residential development. The evaluation consisted of twelve trenches Nearly all of the trenches in the larger field revealed medieval ditches, including a small number of probable early (from 10th century) ones The trenches in the paddock again contained medieval features, mainly
pits, and a possible pond. The trenches nearest the main road revealed evidence of a possible medieval buildings. Due to the wet weather and the rising water table, not all- the features seen were investiqated thoroughly, but finds were collected from their uppermosE fills where possible.
