Abstract: |
The Watching Brief presented an opportunity to explore the development and decline of the medieval Lenton as well as how the post medieval and modern phase of the town developed. The earliest remains which were identified were during the watching brief were medieval in date. This continues to support the conclusions of other local excavations which hypotheses that early medieval, Roman and prehistoric occupation was either sparse or destroyed by the medieval priory. Medieval archaeological remains were relatively absent considering the proximity of the priory. The results of the watching brief suggest that with the exception of the occasional area of fortuitously preserved structural remains, much of the medieval remains have been compromised. The results could however be an artefact of the location of many of the interventions which have been subjected to the development of extensive road and water management networks. There appears to have been extensive remodelling and re-development of Lenton during 17th and 18th centuries. The construction of culverts and the abandonment of wells may indicate a change in domestic water management strategies. Very little can be gleaned from the results with regards to medieval Lenton as the results largely only identified later post medieval and modern structural remains. |
