1 -Pit 3: 31 Park Street (SK ) -Pit 3 was excavated in a flower bed in the rear garden of 31 Park Street, on the northern side of the street and west of an alleyway leading to St Peter s Church, at SK (Figure 1). Over the course of two days on July 2017, the test was dug to the maximum allowed depth of 1m with ten spits recorded. The excavation was carried out by Brendan, Donna, and Lorcan Seward, with Jean and Ron Brown. Figure 1: Excavation of -Pit 3. Looking north-east. Figure 2: -Pit 3 post-excavation. Looking south. 1

2 During the excavation, c.0.3m of dark brownish-grey sandy-silt topsoil (Spits 1-3) was removed. Beneath this was c.0.4m of greyish-brown sandy-silt subsoil (Spits 4-7) and c.0.3m of greyish-orange sandy-gravel (Spits 8-10). The natural substratum, greyish-orange sand, was reached c.1m below ground level. No other archaeological features or deposits were recorded (Figure 2). In all, 304 individual finds (3.319kg) were recovered from the test (Table 1). Post-medieval and modern material was found throughout the pit and it was evident that the ground here was extensively reworked in the past. Aside from the expected array of modern building material, and modern and post-medieval china, mocha ware, earthenware (including modern flower pot), Midland yellow ware, mottled ware, slipware, stoneware, and salt-glazed ware (c.1550-present - Figure 3), the pit also contained five sherds of later medieval Cistercian ware (c ) and a single sherd of medieval sandy ware (c ). Significantly, no earlier pottery was found and there is no suggestion of occupation of the site pre-dating the 15th century. However, the large amount of later medieval and post-medieval pottery does suggest that activity in the vicinity pre-dates the present property at 31 Park Street, the former English Master s House which once belonged to the Dixie Grammar School and was built c Figure 3: Post-medieval pottery from TP3 (left) and a scallop shell (right). Figure 4: Human bone from TP3. Other finds included eight pieces of clay tobacco pipe. The pipe stems were mostly modern in date (c ) but a piece of pipe bowl dated to c Sixteen fragments of were also recovered, mostly 2

3 modern bottle, along with fifteen corroded iron nails, a modern lanyard clasp, a piece of iron slag and a piece of melted lead. Part of a scallop shell was also found (Figure 3), possibly a modern souvenir from the seaside, whilst three worked flints are evidence of prehistoric activity in the vicinity. These included a core and two secondary flakes, which are associated with the initial stages of flint working, most likely in the Neolithic period or the Bronze Age (c BC). A small assemblage of animal bone and a single piece of calcined (cremated) bone were also recovered. For bone to cremate it must have been heated to C, and therefore is unlikely to be produced simply be a random process. However, it cannot be determined whether this bone is evidence of a human cremation burial (c.4000 BC AD 600) or some more recent process requiring the cremation of animal bone (e.g. bone china, fertilizer etc.). A small assemblage of human bone was also recovered from three spits (Spits 4, 7 and 8). This appeared to be residual, disarticulated material and included three phalanges, a right femur and the distal end of a left tibia (Figure 4). In the past, human bone has been found to either side of the property, beneath the lane running along the eastern boundary, where in 1965 workmen laying drains found most of the skeleton of a young woman, and at the Parish Hall to the west, where in 2013 archaeologists found a quantity of disturbed human bone belonging to at least two individuals, an adult and a juvenile. These finds have been interpreted as medieval burials, most likely from St Peter s Church to the north. Evidence from this area of Market Bosworth now suggests that the churchyard associated with St Peter s Church once extended much further south than its present limit, possibly in the medieval period extending all the way down to the frontage on Park Street, before contracting northwards to its present location sometime after the 14th century. It is probably telling therefore that pottery was entirely absent in this test on the north side of Park Street before the 15th century, in contrast to tests on the southern side of the street where occupation was evident from the 9th century onwards.
