Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during 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 pits of a saltern that dated to the 13th-14th century were located in the adjacent plot. Leake Commonside was believed to have existed as a hamlet since the 12th century. The investigation identified the position of an undated saltern with brine tanks, clay lined pits and mounds of burnt debris interspersed with alluvial deposits indicating marine flooding. No finds were made, thus the saltern remained undated. However, on the basis of similar discoveries elsewhere, a medieval date for the complex was considered likely. [Au(abr)] |
