Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations were undertaken in August 2012 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at Maltby Academy, Braithwell Road, Maltby, S66 8AB. The site, centered on Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference SK 52620 92150, is located in the south central part of the town of Maltby, which lies on the A631, east of Junction 1 of the M18, c.12km east of Rotherham. A 'strip, map and record' exercise was carried out to expose and plan archaeological remains and to sample excavate all exposed archaeological features and structures within Area 1, to clarify the character and date of activity. The area of investigation was limited in its extent by tarmac footpaths adjacent to and between buildings and was located within an approximately rectangular grassed space measuring c.23m x c.10m. The excavation confirmed the cartographic evidence which suggested that ancillary buildings to Maltby Hall were located within the area of investigation. Structural remains exposed comprised the western end of a 19th-century outbuilding which was been identified as a stable block. The building was divided into a number of stalls, corridors and other rooms and a yard was located to the south, with probable drainage ditches to the north. A later phase of alterations in the early 20th century saw new drains and concrete floors installed within the stable block. |
