Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks for a new kennel extension to outbuildings at The Old Hall, Ashwell, Rutland. The work was required as the site was on the edge of an area of earthwork remains of medieval settlement and agriculture, and post-medieval formal gardening. Previous investigations in advance of the construction of a garage and workshop to the north, which the kennels are attached to, revealed medieval occupation remains including possible pits and ditches along with a possible well that had been backfilled in the 12th to 14th century. However, no medieval remains were identified during the investigation. Instead a sequence of natural and subsoil was identified, with a pit of uncertain date truncating the subsoil. A modern pipe trench was recorded cut through the undated pit. Finds retrieved during the investigation consisted of a single fragment of animal bone retrieved from the fill of the undated pit. |
