Abstract: |
Three 12m x 1.5m evaluation trenches were excavated as an evaluation in advance of the proposed construction of three houses. Other than a stone-filled soakaway in the western part of Trench 1 and a stone-lined and capped culvert in the northern part of Trench 2, no significant features were revealed. The evaluation suggested that the area was likely to have been open land throughout the development of the village of Whittington. The lack of subsoil in the northern end of Trench 3 suggested that this part of the site was truncated, quite possibly during the construction of the ha-ha of the Old Rectory, located immediately to the west.
