Abstract: |
Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Prospect Archaeology Limited on behalf Hamilton Knight Limited to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks for the construction of two dwellings on land at 'The Stables', Dawns Lane, Aslockton, Nottinghamshire. Aslockton is rich in prehistoric and Roman remains, and recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as being of a substantial size. To the northeast of the site are the earthworks of Cranmers Mound, a castle owned by the family of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century. The groundworks revealed a dumped deposit containing late post-medieval to early modern pottery within a large pit extending beyond the footprint of the new buildings. A well was also revealed and along with other deposits is likely to be associated with the previous land use as stables. |
