Abstract:		 Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by Jacobs UK Ltd, to carry out a trial trenching, comprising 20 trenches (2m x 25m), in advance of a proposed National Grid Substation, with an associated cable trench at Ryhall, Rutland. At the southern end of the site were the remains of a late Bronze Age or early Iron Age pit, containing domestic waste, this was accompanied by an undated possible post hole. These provide evidence for a possible later prehistoric settlement activity at the southern end of the development route. Within the central portion of the site there was an accumulation of colluvial deposits containing artefactual material. This deposit was shown to be sealing possible buried soil horizons containing charcoal rich deposits that may be related to earlier activity. Throughout the northern field, the presence of organic alluvial deposits indicated that the area had previously been part of a wetland environment. Although no definite archaeological features were found in association with this episode of water logging, there were fragments of burnt bone within elements of this alluvial materia suggesting human activity within the vicinity during its accumulation. Worked flint and late prehistoric pottery were further indicators of this activity. Whilst later, undated features appeared to be related to the reclamation of this marginal landscape.
