Abstract: |
Archaeological Research Services Ltd. was commissioned by Petar Stanojevic to undertake archaeological monitoring of groundworks for the erection of a replacement dwelling at 22 Milton Road, Repton, Derbyshire. A planning application had been granted by South Derbyshire County Council for the erection of a replacement dwelling. Archaeological monitoring was carried out during groundworks as a condition of the planning permission to ensure that any archaeological remains encountered were recorded and interpreted prior to removal. Repton Local History Group helped identify this plot as the likely location of a tithe barn visible on a map of 1762. It was possible that archaeological remains associated with a tithe barn may have been present. Archaeological remains of three features were encountered. These included a large posthole cluster containing 16th to 17th century pottery, a round pit containing medieval pottery, and a linear ditch or gully running across site. The presence of medieval pottery and charcoal within the pit feature attests to the presence of human activity on the site from the medieval period onwards. The posthole cluster forms a 90° corner of a post-build structure, which may with caution be equated to the south-west corner of the tithe barn or a subdivision within it. The presence of 16th-17th century pottery within the postholes points to a 16th or 17th century construction date with a 'construction by' date of 1762 represented in the evidence from historic mapping. |
