Abstract: |
An archaeological Watching Brief was carried out on land at the Thring Centre, Uppingham School, Uppingham, Rutland. (SP 86545 99783) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 4th and 17th April 2019. The work was undertaken on behalf of Uppingham School during redevelopment work which included the rebuilding of a listed structure, and associated groundworks. The Watching Brief produced evidence of archaeological activity dating to the 17th - 18th century, the evidence including three wall footings and pit features, and probably being associated with the Manor House. The pottery, ceramic building materials and glass assemblage recovered during the work is consistent with the date for the manorial site, and indicates refuse deposition. The work also required the recording of the Thring Wall during its demolition for rebuilding. There was no evidence for earlier activity on site, aside from a single struck flint. The site archive will be held by Rutland County Council Museum under the ULAS accession number ULAS18-122. |
