An archaeological evaluation consisting of four trial trenches was undertaken on behalf of Henry Rowlands Construction in advance of the construction of two new dwellings. All four trenches contained archaeological features dating predominantly from the 13th/14th century with one dating from the early 17th century. The gullies and pits recorded seem likely to be associated with medieval settlement around the junction of the Fosse Way and the road to Oxford. The absence of structural remains suggests the site lies in the rear parts of house plots fronting on to the road. A single sherd of Roman pottery was also found.
