Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken for Uppingham School by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on the 8th and 9th of December 2005. The purpose of the work was to observe the site strip and ground preparation in advance of proposed development of a new theatre extension for Uppingham School, planning application: FUL/2002/0289/CC. The site is situated within the historic settlement core of Uppingham and within an area of archaeological potential. Because of this the works were seen as being likely to uncover and disturb any surviving archaeological deposits and features. The overall site strip removed an area of tarmac and approximately 0.3m of turf, topsoil and subsoil to reveal an orange brown silty clay natural substrate. Areas of disturbance included a modern rubbish tip, a garden pond and the foundations for a series of demolished buildings along the east side of the site adjacent to the theatre. One small flint bladelet was found within the rubbish tip fill otherwise no archaeological deposits or features were observed. Records will be deposited with Rutland County Council, Accession number RT02.2006 |
