Archaeological PROJECTS across THE MIDLANDS AND BEYOND

An excavation carried out between April 2021 and September 2022 was undertaken to record the remains of a deserted medieval village (DMV) known from documentary sources as The Asps (or Nasps) on a hillside in Bishops Tachbrook on the shoulder of the Avon Valley, prior to the development of a large housing estate by Taylor Wimpey (Midlands).

An extensive programme of archaeological and geoarchaeological investigations was conducted across 9 ha of land at Coventry Gateway South, Baginton, Warwickshire, between September 2019 and June 2022, which demonstrated that the area contains evidence for a long sequence of human activity of regional and perhaps national importance.
