Archaeology around Leamington Spa

Beneath Royal Leamington Spa’s streets lies a layered landscape shaped by prehistoric footprints, Roman enterprise, Saxon power, and the medieval village of Leamington Priors. From Roman rubbish pits at Campion Road to a villa estate near Warwick, fragments of daily life and status continue to surface. The historic Fosse Way by Offchurch still frames movement, settlement, and discovery across the Leam and Avon corridor. Spa‑town growth then draped classical facades over older soils, creating fresh contexts for finds in redevelopment. With local archives and recent fieldwork, exploring this layered heritage today is both accessible and rewarding for residents and visitors.
