Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological excavation, evaluation and watching brief was undertaken at Lilac Farm, 19 Mill Lane, Cottesmore, Rutland, in advance of the construction of a new residential development. The site is located within the medieval and post-medieval settlement core of Cottesmore village. An evaluation of the site, carried out in 2002 by University of Leicester Archaeology Service (ULAS), had identified evidence of late Saxon and early medieval activity in the form of ditches pits and gullies, as well linear alignments of limestone pieces, possibly representing the footings of timber framed buildings. Occurrences of tap slag in the finds assemblage indicated iron smelting in the immediate vicinity of the site. Most of the deposits identified as a result of the current project related to late Saxon and medieval activity, although there was tenuous evidence for Romano-British deposits, in the form of a ditch, which was dated on the basis of a single coin. |
