Adbolton (SK 600382) - Med village merged or migrated. Excavated by Canon RF Wilkinson in 1945. Church demolished in 1746. (1)
Excavations before gravel working were made by G Richardson, 1945-60. 3 Med buildings and an industrial site were found; no report has been published (letters about finds in DMVRG files). (2)
To the N, between church and an old course of the Trent, lies an area of amorphous disturbance, probably marking the site of the former village. (3)
Field 1, a background scatter of finds indicate medieval (pottery, daub, ashlar) activity within the area. The possible trackway is potentially medieval to post medieval in date, possibly once forming a W route out of the village. Field 2, most features related to the former village of Adbolton, this included features of medieval date. In 06, gulley 0073 was masked by post medieval wall 0071 on the same alignment, indicating possible continuity between periods. The greatest density of features were exposed in 03 and 06, which largely comprised those associated with the final phase of village occupation and destruction in C17 / early C18. (4)
