Abstract: |
National Grid Ltd (NG) have planning permission to build a new electricity substation near Ryhall, Rutland. The excavation that was undertaken successfully identified 2 main phases of archaeological activity. These were located within 3 distinct areas along the length of the cable trench route. The first phase of activity was evidenced by a multiphase deposit of worked flint that appears to have been principally created during the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. The second phase was evidenced by two areas of activity, with features dating from the mid to late Iron Age. One of the sites was positioned alongside the flint scatter within the valley bottom. Whilst the second was towards the southern end of the route, utilising the more elevated topography to the south of the West Glen valley. |
