Land at Thickthorn, Kenilworth
The Warwickshire Historic Environment Record indicates the presence of archaeological sites, and a Romano-British settlement site, Scheduled as an Ancient Monument under the 1979 Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act, lies on the opposite side of the A46. Historic Landscape Characterisation indicates an area of planned enclosure and playing fields.
Whilst not objecting to the principle of some development, this should be subject, given the existence of archaeological interest and the possibility of further, previously unknown, remains existing here, to a programme of archaeological assessment and, where appropriate, mitigation; this may require preservation in situ across parts of the sites should significant remains be found.
