A programme of archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of a foundation trench for the construction of a single storey side / front extension to The New House on behalf of Mr Matt Wright. The development site lies within an area of archaeological potential within the medieval settlement of Baginton and close to areas where Roman and Saxon settlement evidence has been found. The natural geology was revealed only at the eastern part of the foundation trench. It was overlain by a deep layer of late 19th - early 20th century date which may represent a rubbish dump and/or deliberate ground raising activity.
