Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by Jacobs UK Ltd, to carry out a trial trenching, comprising 10 trenches (2m x 25m), in advance of a proposed National Grid Substation, Temporary Pylon Area at Ryhall, Rutland. During the course of the evaluation, the presence of numerous furrows was confirmed, along both E-W and N-S alignments. The only significant archaeological feature was an undated, NW-SE aligned ditch, observed terminating at the northern limit of the site. Other features included post-medieval field boundaries and drains. There were also a number of discrete, undated and irregular features, which appeared on the whole to be the results of bioturbation. It was also noted that there was almost complete lack of material culture within any of the features, or even the overlying agricultural deposits further indicating that the area has seen little in the way of sustained settlement activity. |
