Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on land at Dairy Farm, Lyndon Road, Manton, Rutland (SK 8815 0469) from 19th June - 6th July 2007. This work was carried out on behalf of McCrombie Smith Architects by University of Leicester Archaeological Services. The excavation revealed sparse evidence for the prehistoric, Roman and Late Saxon periods through residual or unstratified finds, with later periods being represented through occupation evidence. No remains were revealed during the watching brief. The village appears to originate in the Late Saxon period. The earlier medieval to late medieval periods demonstrate a growth in the village core, following the Norman conquest, and are represented by stone quarrying, and subsequent occupation of the land evidenced through the construction of walls, cobbled surfaces, post-hole activity and wells. The post-medieval to early modern periods are represented by a potential change in land-use, with landscaping making way for earthfast timber 'hay-barn'-like structures, presumably for the origins of the recent Dairy Farm. By the end of the early modern period, it appears that these structures had been demolished and no further structural activity is evidenced. The site archive will be held by Rutland County Museum, accession number RT.04.2007. |
