Abstract:		 University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Chartermann Designs Ltd to undertake an archaeological excavation in advance of a housing development at West Farm, Seaton, Rutland. An archaeological evaluation carried out by ULAS (ULAS Report No 2001-156) had identified the site as having archaeological potential and the Senior Archaeologist instigated a programme of archaeological investigation. As a result of the evaluation two areas were earmarked for open area excavation, covering an area of approximately 1840m square. Excavation indicated that the area had suffered considerable 20th century truncation. Area 1 was the larger of the two areas and located towards the centre of the development area and contained a considerable amount of earth fast archaeological remains, most of which were clustered adjacent to the westernmost site boundary. A substantial stone-built feature was uncovered within the smaller Area 2 as well as a single linear feature. The majority of the archaeological remains were sample excavated and a wide range of dated material recovered including Iron Age, Romano-British, Saxon and Medieval. By far the majority of the excavated features dated from the 12th to the14th century. The stone structure within Area 2 was dated to the 19th century. Despite heavy truncation a considerable amount of archaeological information was recovered during the course of the excavation.
