Abstract/Summary

A watching brief on the excavation of foundation trenches for a kitchen extension. The watching brief was carried out in order to ascertain the character, date, extent and state of preservation of any archaeological remains impacted by the ground works. Historically, Bingham is known from the Domesday records of 1086 from which date it grew into a small market. The current All Saints church originated in the 13th century on the site of an earlier church. Archaeological remains of medieval activity are evident surrounding the church, whilst there is evidence of earlier activity in artefact scatters dating from the Upper Palaeolithic through to the Anglo-Saxon period in the locality of Bingham. The site was located within the historic core of Bingham, Nottinghamshire. The foundation trench measured c.4m x c.2.5m and was excavated to a depth of 1m. No archaeological features were observed within the foundation trench, with the deposits all relating to the excavation of modern water, gas and drainage trenches. A small collection of animal bone recovered from a redeposited layer within the trench included horse teeth. This might suggest the anecdotal evidence for earlier use of the site as stables.
