An archaeological evaluation undertaken to the rear of 8, Potters Lane, Polesworth, fronting onto Common Lane, in advance of development, recorded an undated pit, ditch and posthole. The pit is likely to be post medieval as it was cut from a high level.. The ditch may be a boundary feature of medieval or post-medieval date. The single posthole is probably modern. Only two sherds of 19th century pottery were recovered and no evidence for the nearby post-medieval pottery industry was found.
