SUMMARY
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting (the Consultant), on

behalf of Parkridge Land (Coventry) Ltd, to undertake an archaeological field
evaluation on land at the Peugeot Citroen Stoke Plant, Coventry, Warwickshire
centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 435160 278110. This report contains the
results of the evaluation within the context of relevant historical, cartographic and
aerial photographic evidence for the Site and its vicinity. The fieldwork was
undertaken between 28th November – 7th December 2005.
Although both evaluation areas (Areas A and B) had moderate to high potential for
medieval settlement remains (based upon earlier researches on the cartographic,
historical and aerial photographic evidence), no archaeological deposits, features or
artefacts pre-dating the early 20th century were recorded. A visual and metal detector
survey of the spoilheaps failed to recover any artefacts of note. The south-eastern
extent of Area A showed that in some places in-situ topsoil/subsoil horizons were
buried with modern dumped material, which included redeposited natural clay which
had obviously been disturbed locally. This same sequence of quarrying, modern
dumping and burying of in-situ soil horizons was recorded in the excavations at
Carter Road, bordering the east of the site, suggesting this activity is widespread.
Although a majority of the trenches (11) in Area A contained in-situ buried subsoil
deposits because of modern dumping, no (pre-20th century) archaeological features or
artefacts were recorded sealed below these horizons.
The extensive modern concrete slab of the car factory workshop floor recorded over
Area B, directly overlaid modern hard core layers which in turn rested directly on the
natural alluvial clay of the area. This information, in conjunction with the sharp
change in the prevailing natural topography of the slope of this part of the site down
from the high ground to the south-west, would indicate that extensive modern
terracing related to the development of the car factory in the early 20th century has
removed the original soil profile and any archaeological evidence that may have been
present.
Overall, in both areas there has been major modern disturbances associated with
factory or house construction, quarrying and dumping of modern material associated
with these 20th century structures. The truncation of the original soil profile has
probably removed any archaeological evidence, possibly of medieval settlement, that
may have been in these areas. However, the lack of any residual material pre-dating
the early 20th century would suggest, that unless it was removed during modern
disturbances of these areas, it was not originally present.
On current and earlier evidence the present development within the evaluated Phase 1
area is unlikely to have any impact on any archaeological remains.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting (the

Consultant), on behalf of Parkridge Land (Coventry) Ltd, to undertake an
archaeological field evaluation on land at the Peugeot Citroen Stoke Plant,
Coventry, Warwickshire (hereafter referred to as the ‘Site’) centred on
National Grid Reference (NGR) 435160 278110 (Figure 1). This report
contains the results of the evaluation within the context of relevant historical,
cartographic and aerial photographic evidence for the Site and its vicinity.
The fieldwork was undertaken between 28th November – 7th December 2005.
2 PLANNING BACKGROUND
2.1.1 Planning consent (Ref 52546) has been granted for re-development by
Coventry City Council. The consent was granted subject to a number of
conditions, of which Condition 32 required a programme of archaeological
works to be undertaken prior to development. Initially this programme
comprises trial trench evaluation to be undertaken in accordance with an
approved scheme of archaeological works.
2.1.2 An archaeological desk-based assessment has already been compiled by

CgMs Consulting (CgMs 2005a) and a Written Scheme of Investigation
(WSI) for the trial trench evaluation (CgMs 2005b) has been submitted and
approved by Coventry City Council from which Wessex Archaeology
compiled a Project Design (Wessex Archaeology 2005). The evaluation
comprised a total of 21 machine-excavated trenches in two areas (Areas A
and B).
3 THE SITE
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 The Site comprises approximately 30ha of land which contains the Peugeot
Citroen Stoke Plant. This is situated to the south-east of central Coventry and
lies between Aldermoor Lane and Humber Road (east/west), it is also
bounded by a railway cutting to the south and Bolingbroke Road to the
north.
1
3.1.2 Currently, usage of the Site mainly comprises office accommodation, car
parking, large Factory and Assembly Shop Floors with associated storage
facilities, hard standing, with a recreation ground on the western part of the
Site. Area A comprises an area of hard standing with rough grass bordered
by rough vegetation and scrub as well as tarmaced areas and roads. The area
has been used for many years to park cars from the car plant. Area B
comprises a large area of concrete slab, part of earlier car factory workshop
floors, now open.
3.2 Geology and Topography

3.2.1 The Site is underlain by superficial deposits consisting of Boulder Clay and
Morainic drift. It overlies solid geology consisting of sedimentary rock:
Westphalian and Stephanian, undivided, Barren Red lithology, of the
Palaeozoic Era and Carboniferous Period.
3.2.2 Geotechnic data for the Site records the underlying geology as Wolston Clay
that in areas is overlain by Dunsmore Gravel (WSP 2005). In the area of
Pinley Gardens (Area A) natural geology is overlain by a varying thickness
of made ground measuring between 0.20 m to 1 m. See Section 8.2, Natural
deposits and soil sequence below for detailed deposit descriptions. To the
north of Pinley Gardens (Area B) extensive hard standing is present.
3.2.3 The development area lies between the Rivers Sowe to the east and
Sherbourne to the west, but is not crossed, or passed under, by either. Area A
slopes gently, but noticeably from 90m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) in the
south-east to 87m aOD in the north along Humber Road, and down to c.74m
aOD along Aldermoor Lane. Area B lies in a large expanse of concrete slab
(engine workshop floors) at a general height of 77m aOD.
4 OBJECTIVES
4.1.1 The objectives of the evaluation were to determine, as far as reasonably

possible, the presence/absence, location, nature, extent, date, quality,
condition and significance of any surviving archaeological remains within
the area of the Site.
4.1.2 These objectives include the production of this report which presents the
project results in sufficient detail to allow interpretation without recourse to
the project archive. This will facilitate judgements on the status of the
archaeological resource and allow the formulation of an appropriate response
('a mitigation strategy') to the impact of the proposed development, if
required.
4.2 Area A
4.2.1 The southern most part of the Site is thought to be the location of the
medieval village and manor of Pinley. Documentary evidence (see below)
suggests that Area A forms part of the area recorded as Castle Hill with
adjoining fields as Moat Close. The area of Castle Hill was divided by the
2
construction of the railway in the 19th century. Recently excavations to the
south of the railway (WFMS 2005) produced settlement evidence dating to
the 13th/14th century.
4.2.2 The specific objective of the evaluation in Area A therefore is to determine

whether medieval settlement evidence recorded to the south extends into the
current development area.
4.3 Area B
4.3.1 Aldermoor Lane (Area B) is also noted from medieval documents as an early
road running from Coventry to Stoke and onto London. The early settlement
of Pinley appears likely to have focused around the common known as Stoke
Aldermoor and potentially along Aldermoor Lane. The area along Aldermoor
Lane also has the potential to contain evidence of clay extraction for the tile
industry that was present within the area from medieval times up until the
19th century, evidence of which has been revealed by recent fieldwork
undertaken to the east of the Site (Birmingham Archaeology 2004). A
moderate to high potential for remains of this period to survive on the Site
has therefore been identified.
4.3.2 The objective of the evaluation in Area B is to further test this potential.

5 METHODOLOGY
5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 The methodology for the evaluation has been described in great detail in
other documents (CgMs 2005b; Wessex Archaeology 2005) and the reader is
referred to these as this will not be reiterated in this report. As per the
Written Scheme of Investigation (CgMs 2005b – para 5.2) other published
and unpublished material held at the Coventry Historic Environment Record
(HER) offices was consulted to place the results of the evaluation in context,
which included:
x HER information
x Aerial photographs
x Excavation reports
x Historic mapping
6 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
6.1.1 The archaeological background to the Site is set out within the desk-based
assessment (CgMs 2005a) and is only presented in the form of the summary
from the WSI (CgMs 2005b) with some additional information (Figure 1).
A gazetteer of all the Coventry HER sites pertinent to the present fieldwork
is listed in Appendix 1.
6.1.2 There are no known archaeological sites dated to the prehistoric, Roman or
early medieval periods within the Site, although the Coventry Historic
Environment Record (HER) does record a Neolithic handaxe (HER 6239)
being found in 1919 some 350m to the south west of the Site. Beyond the
area of the Site itself prehistoric and Romano-British sites have been found
in the suburbs of the city (Soden 2003). Evidence of Early or Middle Saxon
occupation still remains notably absent although the ‘ley’ names (meaning
clearing or wood) of settlements such as Pinley, Whitley and Shortley within
the suburbs would suggest an early Saxon presence. The name Pinley might
refer to Pinna’s clearing or woods (EPNS 1936). In general, however, a low
potential for remains of these periods was identified for the Site (CgMS
2005a, 6).
4
6.1.3 The Site lies within an area where extensive medieval landscape evidence
has been recognised. This has been the subject of detailed research and has
been reconstructed from early maps and documents (Soden 2003). The site
of Shortley Manor (HER 9358) first described in 12th century documents,
containing a manor house from at least the 15th century, lies only c. 200m to
the north of the Site. The extensive (14ha) site of the Carthusian Priory of
St. Anne (St. Anne’s Charterhouse – Scheduled Monument 10) lies only
c.300m to the west of the Site and was founded in 1381-82, the foundation
stone of the church being laid by Richard II in 1385 (VCH 1969, 129). After
the Dissolution the priory became a private household and part of the Priory
still exists within a present building on the site, adjacent to the great cloister.
A number of archaeological excavations have been undertaken on the site of
the Priory between 1968 – 87 (COVE 135- 141) which have confirmed the
location of the cloister and ranges of cells associated with it. Two medieval
mills (HER 9055) downstream of the Charterhouse Mill existed until the
1880s.
6.1.4 Walter de Langley’s chapel at Pinley (HER 3174) stood nearby at the south-
east end of Stoke Green and it is possible the medieval hamlet of Pinley,
shrunken by the end of the medieval period, lay strung out along Aldermoor
Lane and clustered around the common known as Stoke Aldermoor. Recent
excavations adjacent to the east of the Site (COVE 212) failed to record any
features, deposits or artefacts pre-dating the post-medieval period though
much post-medieval disturbance had occurred on the site (Birmingham
Archaeology 2004).
6.1.5 The southern area of the Site is thought to be the location of the former
village and manor house of Pinley first documented in the early 13th century.
Documentary evidence referring to the extreme southern extent of the Site
(Area A) records it as Castle Hill with adjoining fields noted as Moat Close
with a possible moated site clearly visible on aerial photographs (HER 6571).
Suggestion is also made that during the time of enclosure there was still
some memory of surviving features and earthworks, possibly relating to the
manor house, being visible that gave rise to the name Castle Hill (C. Patrick
pers. comm.).
6.1.6 The area of Castle Hill was divided by the construction of the railway in the
19th century and recent excavation undertaken by Warwickshire Museum
Field Services in September 2005 (WMFS 2005) on land to the south of the
railway and development area has produced evidence of medieval settlement
remains characterised by cobbled yard surfaces, and boundary ditches dated
to the 13th/14th century (HER 9229). Aldermoor Lane (Area B) is also noted
from medieval documents as an early road running from Coventry to Stoke
and onto London. Another deserted medieval settlement called ‘Biggin’ also
existed along this road, adjacent to the southern end of Stoke Green (HER
6240).
5
6.1.7 The early settlement of Pinley appears likely to have focused around the
common known as Stoke Aldermoor and potentially along Aldermoor Lane.
The area along Aldermoor Lane also has the potential to contain evidence of
clay extraction for the tile industry that was present within the area from
medieval times up until the 19th century, evidence of which has been
revealed by recent fieldwork undertaken to the east of the Site (Birmingham
Archaeology 2004). A moderate to high potential for remains of this period
to survive on the Site has therefore been identified.
6.1.8 Cartographic evidence from the 18th century onwards suggests that the
development area remained predominantly an agricultural landscape. The
Coventry HER contains one entry for the development area for this period
which is the site of Pinley House (HER 9359). This was the centre of the
principal holding of the area in the 19th century which may have been on or
near the old manor house known to have been in existence in 1703, standing
within an extensive parkland. Pinley House existed until the Hillman and
Humber plants were constructed from c.1907 onwards.
6.1.9 The current Peugeot Citroen Stoke Plant consists of both the former Hillman
and Humber plants. The Humber plant was laid out formally in the northern
half of the Site whereas the Hillman factory developed piecemeal in the
southern part of the Site as illustrated on early 20th century OS mapping.
Collins and Stretton’s 1994 study of the Coventry Car Industry (from which
the above is derived) gave the Hillman Humber complex three stars (out of a
possible five) when evaluating its importance.
6.1.10 Clearly there is potential for below ground remains relating to Pinley House.
Similarly much of both the Humber and Hillman factories remain standing
and these too represent an industrial archaeological resource. The
archaeological potential of the study Site was therefore considered to
comprise a possibility of medieval and post-medieval artefactual material
and occupation evidence.
7 THE ARCHIVE
7.1.1 There are no artefacts or environmental samples, but the documentary and
photographic records from the present fieldwork have been compiled into a
stable, fully cross-referenced and indexed archive in accordance with
Appendix 6 of Management of Archaeological Projects (2nd Edition, English
Heritage 1991). The archives are currently held at the offices of Wessex
Archaeology, Old Sarum Park, Salisbury, Wiltshire, under the project code
PCSP05. The full list of the contents of this archive is detailed in Appendix 2
of this report.

8 RESULTS
8.1 Introduction
8.1.1 This section summarises the significant results from the evaluation, including
information on the natural deposits encountered, the archaeological features
and deposits recorded (detailed summaries of contexts and features are
contained in Appendix 3).
8.1.2 A total of 21 evaluation trenches (TRs) were excavated and recorded (Figure
2) which totalled c. 1380m2, comprising a 4% sample (by area) of both Areas
A and B. Both areas were targeted for archaeological evaluation because of
the moderate to high potential for Castle Hill and areas along Aldemoor
Road to contain medieval (13th/14th century) settlement remains.
8.1.3 A few trenches were moved slightly from their proposed locations to avoid
modern services. Trenches 9 and 12 were moved 3m northwards to avoid a
known electrical cable trench. TR 4 was rotated 45 degrees from an origin at
its south end to avoid a floodlight column. TR 19 (Area B) was moved
westwards slightly to avoid a concentration of service ducts visible in the
concrete slab in the vicinity.
8.2 Natural deposits and soil sequence

Area A
8.2.1 Overall, this area had a complex natural geology that was changeable across
the evaluated area and ranged from sandy clays, clays and sands, all with
varying quantities of sub-angular/sub-rounded flint/chert gravels. These all
lay below modern dumps of material or modern ‘scalpings’ and
gravel/tarmaced surfaces for the parking of vehicles. All but one of the
trenches (TR 13) contained modern features (pits, postholes, ditches, land
drains, bottle dump, disturbance) which cut the natural geology and from
their stratigraphic relationships, fill characteristics and their finds, were
clearly modern (early 20th century) in origin. In the eastern part of the area
the trenches were 1.06 – 1.9m deep (TRs 1-5) because of the make-up of
modern refuse over natural topsoil/subsoil horizons.
Modern overburden
8.2.2 The whole area was until recently used to park vehicles from the car plant
and has therefore a gravel or tarmaced surface over the whole area. The
uppermost of all the trenches comprise 0.05 – 0.20m of gravel surfacing or
tarmac surfacing. Below this many of the trenches, especially TRs 2-6
contained between 0.41 – 1.09m (mostly c. 0.9m) of modern dumped
material. Less material was recorded in TRs 9-12 where this deposit was
only c. 0.25m thick. This deposit included modern brick rubble, coal, ash,
ferrous and non-ferrous metal, glass, fibreglass, asbestos and household
ceramics which reflect the early 20th century (1920s – 1960s) uses of this
area of land including houses and allotments which were present prior to use
by the car plant.
7
8.2.3 Most of the trenches in this area (TRs 1, 5-7, 9-12, 14) contained between 0.1
– 0.47m of dark red sandstone which contained abundant sub-angular
sandstone blocks (<0.6m, but generally <0.15m) within a mid reddish-brown
coarse sand matrix. This material has obviously been quarried locally and
utilised in this area to landscape prior to modern surfacing.
8.2.4 Within the modern dumped material redeposited natural light yellowish-
brown sandy clay dumps were clearly visible generally at a depth of c. 1m
suggesting the quarrying/disturbance on a large scale of the natural geology
in this area of Area A whilst refuse was being dumped, or reworked.
Buried soil horizons

8.2.5 Two trenches (TRs 1, 4), contained a buried topsoil horizon, characterised by
a very dark sandy clay loam which contains occasional, poorly sorted, sub-
rounded flint gravels (<40mm) which contained modern ceramic building
material (cbm) and charcoal flecks. A larger number of trenches (TRs 2-9,
13, 16-17) contained a buried subsoil horizon which was characterised by a
mid greyish-brown silty clay loam with sparse (<10%), poorly sorted, sub-
rounded flint gravel (<40mm). The number of trenches lacking a buried
topsoil but containing a buried subsoil would suggest topsoil removal before
the incorporation of modern bedding layers, or modern surfacing materials
(for car parking). The only trenches with buried topsoil (TRs 1, 4) were deep
trenches in the eastern part of Area A suggesting that the modern refuse
layers were dumped directly on them when reworked or dumped, to
landscape the eastern extent of Area A.
Natural geology
8.2.6 This was changeable across the area, but at least two definite sterile,
homogenous natural deposits were recorded. An upper (later) natural geology
(recorded in TRs 10-11) was characterised by a light to dark greenish-grey or
light bluish-grey gleyed, stiff sandy clay/clay, generally c. 0.3m thick
underlying modern deposits. In places (TR9) this deposit could be seen lying
within wide, shallow concave features (natural ‘channels’) running
downslope to the north-east corner of the area.
8.2.7 Below this deposit, or the modern material, the more extensive natural
geology of the area was recorded. This was characterised by a light to mid
yellowish-brown, clay or sandy clay with sparse to abundant, poorly sorted,
sub-rounded/sub-angular flint gravel (<60mm). Generally, the more clayey
the deposit, the less gravel inclusions it contained. In many places this
deposit contained light bluish-grey or greenish-grey sandy clay/clay mottles
derived from the stratigraphically later deposit. In some places the basal
yellowish-brown clay/sandy clay had a slight reddish tinge. This was also
recorded in trenches in Area B (see below).
8
Area B
8.2.8 Overall, the modern disturbance in Area B showed that natural geology laid
directly below the modern concrete slab of the car engine machine and
assembly buildings originally on this part of the Site. This, along with the
sharp change in topography between this area and the land to the
south/south-west, suggests the whole of Area B had been truncated and
terraced during the construction of the car factory. The northern extent of
Area B, lying to the immediate north of the evaluated area, had a c.1m drop
in height, indicating even further truncation of the area’s stratigraphic
sequence to the north.
Modern overburden
8.2.9 Below a 0.15 – 0.25m thick concrete slab covering the whole area a c. 0.1m
thick deposit of modern brick rubble hard core and bituminous chippings
were recorded in all the trenches. In only one trench (TR 20) was a buried
soil horizon recorded below this, which was characterised by a dark greyish-
brown silty clay which contained rare, small brick fragments and charcoal.
8.2.10 All the trenches contained modern structural remains, including brick and
concrete service ducts, walls and structural column bases in deep pits which
had an extensive impact on the prevailing stratigraphy around each structure.
These modern structures, associated with the car assembly factory, were
present in all the trenches in the area, though were particularly extensive in
TR 20.
Natural geology
8.2.11 The natural geology in this area was consistent in all the trenches. It was
characterised by a 0.53m (+) light yellowish-brown, stiff, sterile homogenous
clay with a slight reddish-tinge and sparse mottles of reddish-brown clay.
The natural also contained sparse to moderate light bluish-grey, gleyed clay
mottles suggesting this was alluvial in origin and water laid.
8.3 Archaeological and historical information

8.3.1 Nothing of note was recorded from a review of the aerial photographic
evidence of the Site available at the HER Offices. The photo’s covered the
years 1946, 55, 77 and 1980, including both oblique and vertical examples.
Nothing of note was recorded on the Site except an area of dumping (or
disturbance) in the very south-east of Area A on the 1980 photo’s which
covered a smaller area than the extent revealed in the recorded trenches in
the east of Area A (Figure 2).
8.3.2 Mapping evidence checked both at the HER Offices and from Warwickshire
County Records Office do not add to the information already obtained in
earlier investigations (CgMs 2005a).
8.3.3 Nearly all the historical evidence for the area of the Site derives from
extensive medieval documents of Walter de Langley and his descendants,
which give an unprecedented picture of manorial estate management in the
early medieval period, not just for Pinley, but Warwickshire also.
9
8.3.4 Overall, the current review of cartographic, historical, archaeological and
aerial photographic evidence has not added materially to the information
previously available in the area of the Site in which to place the current
evaluation work results.
9 FINDS AND ENVIRONMENTAL
9.1 Finds
9.1.1 All of the artefacts recorded during the evaluation were of the early 20th
century or later and as per the Project Design (para 10.2.2) were not retained.
Although all spoilheaps were scanned, both visually and with a metal
detector no residual finds pre-dating the early 20th century were recorded.
9.2 Environmental Sampling

9.2.1 No dateable deposits with palaeoenvironmental potential were recorded
within the present scheme of works, therefore no environmental samples
were taken.
10 CONCLUSIONS
10.1.1 Although both Areas A and B had moderate to high potential for medieval
settlement remains (based upon cartographic, historical and aerial
photographic evidence), no archaeological deposits, features or objects pre-
dating the early 20th century were recorded. A visual and metal detector
survey of the spoilheaps failed to recover any artefacts of note.
10.1.2 The south-eastern extent of Area A showed that in-situ soil horizons were
buried with modern dumped material, which included redeposited natural
clay which had obviously been disturbed locally. This same sequence of
quarrying, modern dumping and burying of in-situ soil horizons was
recorded in the excavations at Carter Road nearby, suggesting this activity is
widespread. Although a majority of the trenches (11) in Area A contained in-
situ buried subsoil deposits, no archaeological features or artefacts were
recorded within or below these horizons. The presence of these soils would
indicate that had any archaeological features been present they would have
largely been protected from the impact of modern dumping. Consequently
the lack of archaeological features is likely to represent a true absence of past
activity in this area.
10.1.3 The extensive modern concrete slab of the car factory workshop floor
recorded over Area B directly overlaid modern hard core layers which in turn
rested directly on the natural alluvial clay of the area. This information, in
conjunction with the sharp change in the prevailing natural topography of the
slope of this part of the Site down to the north-east would indicate that
extensive modern terracing related to the development of the car factory in
the early 20th century has removed the original soil profile and any
archaeological evidence that may have been present.
10
10.1.4 Overall, in both areas there has been major modern disturbances associated
with factory or house construction, quarrying and dumping of modern
material associated with these 20th century structures. Truncation of the
original soil profile in Area B has probably removed any archaeological
evidence, possibly of medieval settlement, that may once have been present.
In Area A however the presence of a largely intact buried soil horizon would
suggest that the absence of archaeological features, reflects a true absence of
past activity in the area.
10.1.5 On current and earlier evidence the present development within the evaluated
Phase 1 area is unlikely to have any impact on any archaeological remains.
11 INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
11.1.1 The evaluation trenches represent a 4% sample (by area) of the two evaluated
areas on the Site. The lack of pre-early 20th century features as well as the
total lack of earlier residual artefacts (from visual and metal detector
scanning) in any of the deposits, would suggest that there are no remaining
archaeological remains of significance in these areas. The degree of sampling
of the areas, the detailed scanning for finds and the referencing of other
archaeological and historical information for the Site would be sufficient to
record the presence, nature, extent and significance of any archaeological
remains, were they present.

mid-19th century. Thought to have been worked by George &
John Liggins from 1820s until c.1850. By 1886 the
watercourses had been obliterated by Coventry Sewage Works,
mill must have been using steam power. Certainly out of use
by 1910, buildings demolished.
