Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Mr and Mrs Cockbill to undertake an archaeological evaluation on ground adjacent to the Ridings, Seaton (NGR SP 9011 9813) in advance of the construction of a tennis court. The proposed development is located on the southern edge of the village, to the south of Moles Lane. The area is of known archaeological significance, previous walk over survey identified standing earthworks and medieval fishponds (ULAS Report 2003-161) and the village itself is Saxon/Medieval in date. Two trenches were machine excavated within the development area. Trench 1 was located within the area of least impact to ascertain the depth of any buried archaeology and Trench 2 was located where the greatest disturbance was to occur. Both trenches failed to uncover any archaeologically significant remains, however an amount of Medieval pottery was recovered from both trenches was during machining. |
