Abstract: |
This document is a fieldwork report for an archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at land west of Uppingham Road, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6HU. A total of 16 trenches measuring 30m x 1.6m, a 2% sample of the site, were excavated to evaluate the proposed development area. The archaeological work was carried out from the 14th-20th August 2019. A significant 1st-2nd century archaeological site lies on land to the north of the site, including a double pit alignment and enclosure ditches (MLE19131). The archaeological evaluation recorded an undated linear ditch feature, with a sterile fill and unclear edges along the eastern edge of the site. There was also evidence of ridge and furrow earthworks and field drains across the site, plus some unstratified finds including bone. This suggests the archaeological remains to the north do not appear to continue into the proposed development area. |
