Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with service trenching in relation to alterations to a children's play area on land at Rufford Abbey, Ollerton, Nottinghamshire. Two trenches were excavated as part of the groundwork activities. Five archaeological features were identified and recorded in Trench 1. Four of these comprise red brick and stone culverts/drains associated with post-medieval land use and development of the site. In addition to these features was a length of rough squared sandstone foundation. A lack of diagnostic features or artefacts precluded any accurate dating of this feature, though similar foundations identified during archaeological investigations north of the project area have been dated to the medieval period. Four wall foundations of similar material to that identified in Trench 1 were recorded in Trench 2. No artefacts were recovered during trench excavations. |
