Abstract: |
Archaeological work was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for S.J. Knight on land at Willow House, Strawson's Farmyard, Old Great North Road, Great Casterton, Rutland (TF 0014 0895). The work was in advance of two extensions and a detached garage being constructed on the site, which lies within the medieval core of Great Casterton and within the Roman town. The three areas excavated revealed previous disturbance; mainly make-up layers that would have been deposited when the site was landscaped during the conversion of Willow House from a barn into a private dwelling. The third area contained the most disturbed ground and appears to have been situated in an area previously occupied by a farm building. No archaeological features were revealed although three sherds of Romano-British grey-ware were recovered from the topsoil within Area 3. An archive will be prepared for the site and will be deposited with Oakham and Rutland Museums with accession number OAKRM.2010.12. |
