Author/Originator
Date/Year 2019

Abstract/Summary

This report describes the results of an archaeological observation carried out on land at Rufford Abbey, Rufford, in Nottinghamshire. The archaeological observation took place intermittingly between 4th and 29th July 2019. The observation of the overflow parking lot in the first Area was shallow, as only the turf and a small amount of topsoil were removed.The second Area (which was to be lightly raked) was inadvertently not monitored and third Area comprised of dispersal of topsoil which was brought in to build up the area. The aim of the work was to monitor the development groundwork, investigate and record any archaeological deposits or features revealed in the development area. The site is within the Scheduled Monument of Rufford Abbey medieval Cistercian Monaster. The observation identified the remains of a late post-medieval stone structure which possibly represents the remnants of a flue for a furnace and a possible modern wall remnant. Groundworks were shallow and no other archaeological remains were revealed.
