Abstract: |
An Archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Calke Abbey, Calke, Derbyshire in September 2005 by Birmingham Archaeology, on behalf of the national trust. The work was required as Calke Abbey is situated on the location of a 12th century Augustian prioiry. The watching brief was carried out during the digging of trial pits to locate existing 18th century culverts providing drainage for the 18th century house at Calke Abbey. The trial pits were hand-dug and three culverts uncovered. The culverts in one trial pit were sealed by a layer of sandstone rubble, with a single sherd of medieval pottery and one piece of dressed amongst the finds recovered. No other significant Archaeological remains were found. |
