Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by the Cecil Estate Family Trust to undertake an archaeological evaluation of 3 to 8 Main Street, Great Casterton, where planning permission may be sought for the refurbishment of the existing properties and the construction of two new residential units. The proposed development area had been identified as being of possible archaeological significance due to its proximity to known sites of archaeological importance. Three evaluation trenches were machine excavated within the garden of number 3, where less disturbed areas would be impacted on. All of the trenches showed evidence of archaeologically significant remains. Trench 1 within the front garden uncovered evidence of post-medieval cottages which originally occupied the site prior to the present houses being built. Trench 2 uncovered undisturbed medieval deposits containing re-deposited Roman material at depth and Trench 3 contained extensive in-situ stone built structures, one of which was possibly Roman in date. The archive will be held by Rutland County Museum, under the accession number OAKRM 2009.8. |
