An archaeological field investigation was undertaken on land to the rear of the Red Lion Public House, 23, Main Street, Wolston, Warwickshire by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on the 21st of January 2013. Four trial trenches were excavated in response to proposals for residential development, as proposed under Planning Application number R11/2409. The results of the work were largely negative, with three of the four evaluation trenches containing no archaeological remains. The fourth trench, to the rear (northern end) of the development area contained remains of two ditches; one of which was undated but a second produced datable evidence to indicate it had been backfilled during the 18th or early 19th century
