Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in January 2014 within the grounds of 17 Mill Lane, Kislingbury, Northamptonshire, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services and on behalf of Mr. L.Woodward. The fieldwork was required by the Development Control Archaeologist in response to an application for three new dwellings on the site, in order to assess the impact of the development on any potential archaeological remains. The site is located within the settlement core of the medieval village. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of four trenches (varying between 8m and 15m in length) targeting the footprints of the proposed new dwellings. Trenches 1, 2 and 3 revealed a series of features comprising ditches, gullies and beamslots, representing occupation and possible plot boundaries. The pottery suggests that the activity was late Saxon/earlier medieval and continued into the 13th or 14th centuries. Animal bones and charred plant remains also survived, although in small quantities. As Northamptonshire County Council is currently unable to receive archives, the site archive will be held by ULAS under the site code NH_MLK 2014 until such facilities become available. |
