Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Darian Homes to undertake an archaeological standing building survey and trial trench evaluation of the former King William IV Public House, Barsby prior to demolition and redevelopment. An initial archaeological desk-based assessment identified the building as possibly eighteenth century in date and of some historical interest and close to known archaeological sites. The Leicesterhire County Council Senior Planning Archaeologist, as advisor to the planning authority requested that a standing building survey and trial trench evaluation be carried out. The building was in poor state of repair have suffered fire damage and been subsequently stripped of fixtures and fittings. The building survey suggests that the building is a twentieth century rebuild within the footprint of the earlier building. Despite its promising location on the fringe of the historic village core, nothing of archaeological significance was located during the archaeological evaluation. |
