Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the excavation of the foundation trenches for a new dwelling and detached garage. Old Leake Commonside was situated in an area of salt production dating from the Romano-British to the medieval period. A possible Late Saxon saltern lay to the north-west and clay lined brine tanks and pits of an undated saltern were located in the adjacent plot to the south-east. Leake Commonside was believed to have existed as a hamlet since the 12th century. The investigation identified a single undated brine tank and a medieval pit that contained saltern refuse. A sherd of medieval pottery, burnt clay and a modern brick fragment were retrieved during the investigation. [Au(abr)] |
