Clyne House, Park Lane, Great Alne, Warwickshire: archaeological watching brief

An archaeological watching brief was carried during the groundworks phase of the construction of a domestic extension within the supposed extent of the medieval settlement at Great Alne. An archaeological assessment had identified a moderate to high potential for medieval archaeological remains to be preserved on the site but recommended that the potential impact would be adequately mitigated by an archaeological watching brief. The work revealed that the foundation trenches were cut through modern disturbance into the geological natural. This suggests that the area had been scoured of topsoil and possibly subsoil, presumably when the house and/or patio were constructed. No significant finds were recovered.
