Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Church Street/Bowleys Lane, Appleby Magna between the 18th and 22nd of September 2014. The work was carried out as a response to a pre-planning enquiry and was designed to provide preliminary information in advance of a potential residential development. Five 25 metre long trenches were excavated across the 3ha site which contains a number of well-preserved earthworks. A number of small ditches were identified in the western half of the site which are likely to be associated with the earthworks. A possible plot boundary was noted in the eastern half of the site. Most finds from the features date to the medieval period between the 13th and 15th centuries. Towards the northern edge of the site an area of made ground may be the evidence of backfilled fishponds or backfill from clay extraction activity, probably from the late 17th or 18th centuries. The foundations of a brick wall built from possible early 19th century bricks were also identified. |
