Swift Wind Farm, Churchover, Warwickshire. Archaeological Evaluation (OASIS ID: cotswold2-260961)

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2014 at Swift Wind Farm, Churchover. Six trenches were excavated. The evaluation revealed a small number of features of possible archaeological origin on either side of the River Swift (within Areas B and C). However, the predominant archaeological features identified comprised evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation, with furrows being recorded in all trenches except Trench 1. A probable ditch or pit, 202 identified in Trench 2 (Area C) remains artefactually undated. However, this feature does correlate with geophysical anomaly 2 which may represent a curvilinear enclosure. To the east of the River Swift, two ditches identified at the northern limit of Trench 6 (Area B) are suggestive of ditches flanking a trackway. It remains undetermined they are associated with nearby geophysical anomalies that are interpreted as later prehistoric/Roman enclosures and field systems immediately to the west, or whether they form a trackway that is broadly contemporary with the ridge and furrow.
