Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken on land at Top Yard, Silverwood Farm, Thistleton, Rutland by University of Leicester Archaeological Services in advance of the proposed construction of a new corn store. Various sites dating to the Romano-British period are known in the vicinity and these sites were seen to necessitate prior archaeological investigation. Three trenches were excavated totalling 75.75m². Trench 2 and 3 identified clear archaeological deposits consisting of number small gullies. A single sherd of late Iron Age pottery was recovered from one of the gullies. The remains are likely to represent a continuation of agricultural field systems located on the settlement periphery that are known to exist adjacent to the site and are likely to date to the Romano-British period. The site archive will be held with Rutland County Museum under the accession number: OAKRM :2008.52. |
