Abstract/Summary

This document presents the results of a scheme of archaeological trial trenching on land south of Abbey Lane, Aslockton. Outline planning permission for residential development has been granted for the site; the results of this evaluation will be used alongside a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey to inform and advise any further archaeological mitigation that may be required in association with the proposals. 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 of the site 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 Cramner’s Mound and other settlement features are protected as a scheduled monument. Geophysical survey of the site identified only slight magnetic variation, anomalies which were targeted within this evaluation. The results identified a single undated possible pit, and occasional disturbance and bioturbation. Sherds of 17th– 19th century ceramics are interpreted as residual evidence of post-medieval agricultural activity.
