Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned to undertake an archaeological excavation prior to the redevelopment of Church Farm, Main Street, Seaton. A previous archaeological evaluation had uncovered evidence of a stone built structure within the proposed development area. The excavation revealed the full extent of this structure. The excavation uncovered a stone built house with flag stone floors consisting of two domestic rooms with gable fireplaces and possible evidence of a first floor. There was an apparently later extension on the western end of the building. It appears the building remained in use for less than two hundred years before apparently standing derelict for some time before collapse or demolition occurred. As well as the earthfast archaeological remains the archaeological evaluation observed evidence of standing building remains within the boundary walls of the proposed development area. In all there were three identifiable buildings preserved within the eastern and northernmost boundary walls. By far the grandest consisted of polychrome coursed stonework and purple quoin work, which must have been a striking building. These remains were recorded by photographic survey. The archive for the excavation will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the accession number RT09.2006. |
