Abstract:
Five trenches were excavated to evaluate land proposed for development on the old onion bottling factory site to the east of Bolingbroke Castle. Excavations on the site were limited by extensive areas of disturbance from former buildings. The results suggested that the north end of the site was probably cleared of topsoil prior to construction of the brewery, truncating any earlier archaeological deposits. Silt deposits were identified along the west boundary indicating the close proximity of a water course (although the present stream appears to post-date 1800 the original watercourse ran along the boundary to the castle. Finds of large pottery sherds, including a waster, may have been significant as a major pottery industry was located in Bolingbroke during the 15th-18th centuries. Unfortunately full investigation of the locations from which this pottery was recovered was not possible due to diesel contamination of the soil. [AIP]
