Abstract: |
The University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an Archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching for Prime Life Ltd and Corporate Architecture Ltd on land to the north of Rutland Memorial Hospital and off Barleythorpe Road, Oakham, in advance of the development of three 20 bedroom residential nursing homes and social centre together with 27 elderly person cottages, new access road and roundabout (planning application FUL/2003/0944/MS). The site consists of two main areas; part of a playing field and an adjacent triangular piece of rough ground. The site lies in an area of potential for prehistoric and Roman remains. No archaeological features were revealed during the evaluation. A 19th century ceramic beer bottle was recovered from one trench and a small flint end scraper and a piece of post-medieval pottery were recovered from another. The site archive will be deposited with Rutland County Museum with accession number RA1.2004. |
