Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on land at Newhaven, Pickworth Road, Great Casterton, Rutland in September 2015, following the discovery of human remains two months previously by developers, during excavation work for the installation of a conservatory extension. One male adult human skeleton had been uncovered, with a pair of iron fetters secured by a lock were fastened around his ankles and buried in a probable ditch. Iron hobnails were present around the feet of the individual. Some sherds of 4th century Roman pottery and fragments of animal bone were also recovered. The individual appeared to have been buried in a ditch, though restrictions on the limit of excavation and some modern truncation precluded any certainty on the method of deposition. |
