Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land adjacent to Greetham Quarry, Greetham, Rutland (SK 930 149) by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services between the 23rd May and 10th June 2005 for Mineral Surveying Services Ltd on behalf of M.Dickerson Ltd. This work followed on from a previous desk-based assessment and geophysical survey that had highlighted the potential for archaeological features to be present within the application area. The evaluation forms part of an archaeological impact assessment of the proposed extension of the quarry. Sixteen of the excavated trenches were positioned to target possible features previously identified by the geophysical surveys and eight trenches were located in the blank areas. Positive results were obtained from thirteen of the targeted trenches excavated, mostly confirming the presence of archaeological features previously suggested by geophysical anomalies. Several features were also identified which had not been detected by geophysics. Primarily these features identified were pits and ditches, many of which can be dated to the Mid-Late Iron Age. The other eleven trenches did not yield and features or finds as was generally suggested by the geophysics. The results suggest that the main focus for archaeological activity is located to the north of the application area where the ditches may form part of a Mid-Late Iron Age enclosure. The sections excavated into the ditches yielded domestic rubbish as well as disarticulated human remains and may relate to the activities of a small farmstead. Records will be deposited with the Rutland County Museum under the Accession no. RT02.2005.
