Description

The site is situated on the site of the old Church Hall, Aslockton. Main Street bounds the site to the west, housing forms the eastern border while the village post office is situated to the south. Saucer Farm and the church of St Thomas and its associated grave yard are to the immediate north. The strip, map and record exercise required the monitoring the machine stripped topsoil and subsoil across an area approximately 51.50sqm in extent. This was to take place prior to any development groundworks. All archaeological deposits identified were subjected to limited excavation, in order to access their nature, dimensions and to attempt to recover datable materials. The groundwork was carried out using a 360ยบ wheeled excavator using a 0.50m toothless ditching bucket. Contexts recorded across the site consisted of natural deposits and features, two possible pits, three undated ditches and one ditch dated to the late 9th to mid 10th Anglo-Saxon period. Four sherds of 13th century pottery were also retrieved from the topsoil.
