Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the construction of a new house and garage on land adjacent to Shepherd's Cottage, on the north side of Main Street in the village of Flawborough in Nottinghamshire. There is evidence of Romano-British activity in the vicinity of Flawborough, including the remains of a possible settlement exposed during works at the Kilvington gypsum quarry, about 250m to the north-east of the site. The site appears to have lain among or adjacent to the parish open fields of the medieval settlement of Flawborough. The monitoring of groundworks on this site identified two features: a pit containing early medieval and medieval pottery and the shallow base of an undated but possibly recent ditch. It seems most likely that the site lay within a privately enclosed plot on the periphery of the village, and that the artefacts retrieved were brought in from elsewhere as part of the deposition of midden material for manuring or ground raising. |
