Abstract/Summary
The results of an archaeological strip, map and recording exercise on land south of Abbey Lane, Aslockton.
The site lies to the west of the historic core of the village, close to Aslockton Abbey, now Abbey Farm, a private dwelling and farmhouse first constructed in the early 19th century. To the north is a complex of Iron Age and Roman dated cropmarks and earthworks, while the core of the medieval village lay to the east, where the earthworks and buried remains of Cranmer’s Mound and other settlement features are protected as a scheduled monument.
Geophysical survey of the site identified only slight magnetic variation; anomalies that were targeted via a preceding evaluation. The evaluation exposed an undated possible pit and frequent disturbance and bioturbation with 17th – 19th century ceramics. Following completion of the evaluation it was deemed necessary to examine the wider area surrounding these possible features. An open area 35m by 20m was stripped around the identified features, revealing a high degree of undated tree-rooting and a buried lower subsoil horizon localised in a shallow hollow.
