Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during March 2005 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services for F.J. Garner and Sons during groundworks for the construction of a new grain store and access road at Oak Lodge Farm, Welford Road, Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire. The Leicestershire County Council Planning Archaeologist recommended that there should be archaeological attendance and recording during the groundworks to ensure that any affected deposits were adequately recorded. The site is in the vicinity of a scheduled Neolithic causewayed enclosure (SAM 17096) and prehistoric artefacts have been found during fieldwalking in the proposed development area. A possible prehistoric pit was found during the stripping of the access road, which contained burnt sandstone, charcoal and a single grain of barley. It appears that these are the remains of a hearth buried in the pit. In addition, various unstratified flints were recovered during the watching brief, including a patinated scraper. The site archive will be deposited with the Leicestershire County Council, Historic and Natural Environment Team under the Accession Number X.A161.2005. |
