Abstract: |
A watching brief undertaken during groundworks associated with the construction of two extensions to the existing farmhouse at Home Fram, Ryhall, Rutland. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential between various cropmark complexes. To the southwest is an enclosure of Iron Age-Roman date. To the northeast are cropmarks of ring ditches which may form part of a dispersed Neolithic or Bronze Age barrow cemetery along with a prehistoric trackway. The watching brief revealed a sequence of deposits comprising natural clay and limestone brash, buried topsoil and modern surfaces. A brick lined cesspit or soakaway was cut through the former topsoil and had been widened and used as a repository for demolition debris. |
