Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Dairy Farm, Lyndon Road, Manton, Rutland (SK 882 047) on the 17th-20th January 2006. This work was in advance of the proposed construction of one dwelling with garage. This work was carried out on behalf of McCrombie Smith Architects by University of Leicester Archaeological Services. A total of two evaluation trenches were excavated which revealed well preserved Late Saxon and medieval features of varied use. These included Late Saxon quarry pits, presumably for building materials, sealed by an early medieval layer, an early medieval furrow and structural evidence in the form of a wall footing and postholes, with further pitting. This site, when discussed with a previous ULAS excavation immediately to the north, highlights the continuities of land use and probable Late Saxon origin to the core of the current village of Manton. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council, Heritage Services Section, or Rutland County Museum, accession number RT.01.2006. |
