Abstract: |
The Centre of Archaeology was commissioned in May 2106 by Uttoxeter Museum Trust, to undertake an evaluation to the rear of Redfern's Cottage (NGR SK 409036 333404), in advance of the refurbishment of Redfern's Cottage and the construction of a new extension to the rear of the property. Seven test pits were excavated in May 2016 by Capstone Consulting Engineers Ltd and were observed and recorded under watching brief conditions. Later in July 2016 three evaluation trenches were completed as part of a community excavation. The evaluation found evidence contemporary with and predating the 17th century Redfern's Cottage. Part of a ditch (or large pit) was identified in one of the trenches. This feature was probably associated with the known 13th century development of Uttoxeter. The lowest fills of this ditch contained pottery dating to the 13th century. Two amber beads thought to have originated from a medieval rosary, metalworking waste and 13th century pottery was recovered from within the fills of this feature. |
