Data from a Trial Trenching at Lower Radbourne Deserted Medieval Village, Warwickshire, 2020 (HS2 Phase One)

This collection comprises images, spreadsheets, reports, vector graphics, and scanned site records and drawings from a trial trench evaluation by Archaeological Research Services at Lower Radbourne Deserted Medieval Village, Warwickshire. A total of 91 trenches were excavated across six fields in order to establish the survivability of the deserted medieval village. Of these, 35 revealed the presence of archaeology that included ditch, pit, posthole, gully, stone surface and structural features as well as stray small finds from the topsoil. These features produced Mesolithic through medieval artefacts as well as post-medieval ceramics in the topsoil and trench 25. The results of the evaluation confirmed the presence of the Radbourne deserted medieval village (DMV) and the presence of three circular ditches identified from recent geophysical surveys and ditches of apparent Iron Age date.本数据集收录了沃里克郡下雷德本废弃中世纪村落（Lower Radbourne Deserted Medieval Village）考古研究服务部（Archaeological Research Services）开展试掘评估所生成的图像、电子表格、报告、矢量图形，以及扫描的遗址记录与绘图。本次试掘评估共在6块农田内布设并发掘91条试掘探沟，以明确该废弃中世纪村落的遗存保存状况。其中35条探沟揭露了各类考古遗存，包括沟、坑、柱洞、冲沟、石质面与建筑结构遗迹，同时在表土层中采集到零散小件遗物。上述遗迹在表土层与25号探沟内出土了从中石器时代至中世纪的各类人工遗物，以及后中世纪时期的陶瓷器。本次评估结果证实了雷德本废弃中世纪村落（DMV）的存在，同时确认了近期地球物理勘探所发现的3处环形沟遗迹，以及疑似铁器时代年代的沟遗存。
