Abstract/Summary
A scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken on all development groundworks associated with the construction of two terraced blocks of houses, garages, parking and access.
The development site lies near the historic village core of Laneham in an area of potential archaeological significance; therefore it was advised that a scheme of monitoring be undertaken on all related
groundworks for this project.
The report states that three test pits were excavated across the site within the footprint of the development. A fourth pit, within the cellar area towards the north-east corner of the site was deemed too unsafe to enter and a photographic record made instead.
Monitoring carried out at Land at the Butchers’ Arms, Main Street, Laneham revealed no surviving evidence of medieval activity within the development foot-print. It is apparent that, if any significant archaeology was once present, presumably along the frontage of Main Street, then it had subsequently been destroyed by the later construction of the Butchers’ Arms public house. The only surviving evidence of earlier activity may tentatively be seen in a deposit which comprised a disturbed cobble layer, probably Victorian/Edwardian in date.
The report contains photographs of the site, site maps and section drawings of the test trenches.
