Abstract/Summary

Archaeological trial trenching was carried out in advance of proposed drainage works on the south side of Holy Trinity Church, Rothwell. A series of test pits were excavated to determine the location of existing drain runs and to characterise any archaeological deposits, which may be affected by the proposed works. Survival of evidence relating to the former plan of the south side of the church demolished in 1673 included the identification of a possible mortar floor surface, a short section of masonry plus possible wall lines visible in the form of robber trenches backfilled with rubble deposits. Finds included several pieces of medieval pottery and floor tile. Unstratified human bones, also unearthed, were reburied following completion of the trial trenching.
