Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken on land at Huntsmans Drive, Oakham, Rutland by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 29th November and the 6th December 2011. The initial potential of the site was highlighted by information held in the Leicestershire and Rutland Historic Environment Record indicating that the area was close to know Iron Age and Roman remains. This highlighted the potential for archaeological features to be present within the proposed area for a new residential development. Nine trenches were excavated. Towards the south west corner two of the excavated trenches contained archaeological remains including ditches post-holes and pits. Pottery dating to the 11th- 13th century was present in one feature. To the north five of the trenches contained ditches, post-holes and pits. One ditch contained pottery dating to the Late Iron Age or Roman Conquest period, slag burnt daub and animal bone. The site archive under accession number OAKRM:2011.32 will be deposition with Rutland County Museum. |
