Abstract: |
A combined archaeological excavation and watching brief was undertaken for Truman Contractors (East Midlands) between the 25th of July and the 15th of August 2007. The purpose of the work was to observe the groundworks taking place in advance of two domestic dwellings and to archaeologically strip and excavate the footprint of a further pair of dwellings. The watching brief revealed the presence of possible plot boundaries containing 12th century pottery. The two area strips showed evidence of possible plot divisions and occupation activity from the late 9th to the 14th centuries. A small stone structure containing high quantities of charred plant remains was also found. |
