Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigation by trial trenching was undertaken by staff of University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Hazleton Homes on land adjacent to Hall Close, Cottesmore, Rutland, between 15th and 17th February 2011. The work proceeded from an earlier archaeological evaluation undertaken by ULAS in 2003 targeting the eastern end of the development area, which revealed probable 17th-century architectural fragments probably associated with the demolition of Cottesmore Hall and attendant gardens in the 20th century. The northern area of the 2011 evaluation revealed a number of stone- and brick-built structures of uncertain date which are likely to have formed part of a demolished range associated with the possibly 15th- or 16th-century standing building flanking the north side of the present farmyard. This arrangement of buildings may have been associated with the hall which lay a short distance to the north, possibly as stable. This area of archaeological survival appeared reasonably discrete, however, with heavy disturbance evident across the central farmyard area and in the open area in the north-east corner of the evaluation area. The eastern area proved to be devoid of archaeological features or finds. |
