Abstract:		 An archaeological strip plan and sample excavation and watching brief were carried out on land at Kilthorpe Grange, Ketton Rutland (SK 9873 0342) during ground-works associated with the excavation of a new fishing lake. University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) were commissioned by Mr Adderley to carry out the archaeological work. A previous evaluation by ULAS has revealed a number of small discrete features, which were mostly undated apart from a small number of flints dating from the Mesolithic period. The excavations were carried out by a box grader until archaeological horizons were reached at which point the upper soils were slowly stripped using a JCB with a flat bladed bucket. A number of small discrete features were revealed along with parts of two small ring ditches. Only a single find, part of a flint knife, was found during the work. The decision was taken by the client not to excavate further and so the features were not excavated and were covered in geotextile material before being reburied. The ring ditches were most likely Neolithic-Bronze Age in date, but the Mesolithic flint from the evaluation and the fact that one of the ring ditches appears to cut another feature may indicate a multi-phased site.
