SNN70164 - A605 Warmington Bypass and Tansor Improvements: Archaeological Evaluation 1991-1993

Archaeological evaluation, comprising desk-based study, fieldwalking and other non-destructive fieldwork survey and limited trenching has defined a total of seventeen sites within a corridor 200m width either side of the proposed Warmington Bypass and Tansor improvements. Six of these sites are likely to be affected by the bypass construction. They comprise: a group of barrows to the south-west of Tansor Crossroads; probable prehistoric boundary features to the north-east of Warmington; Roman settlement to the north-east of Warmington Crossroads; the site of the Burystead Manor on the west side of Eaglethorpe, formerly Mill End; early middle Saxon occupation in the same area as the Burystead manor; and Saxon and medieval occupation within Eaglethorpe.
