Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. C. Tetley to undertake an archaeological evaluation on ground to the side and rear of 16 Pinfold Lane, Harby, Leicestershire (NGR SK 7500 3122). The Desk-based Assessment (Speed 2004) confirmed that the village of Harby has produced signs of occupation and human activity dating from prehistoric times through to the present day. The Leicestershire Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) lists a number of Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval sites in the vicinity of the proposed development area. Prehistoric, Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon pottery and metalwork has been found just to the north-west of the site suggesting potentially extensive settlement activity. Fieldwork took place on 25th - 26th May and comprised the examination of three trial trenches over the approximate locations of the proposed buildings. Archaeological deposits were recorded in all three trial trenches. A number of gullies and post-holes probably indicative of structures were found in Trench 01 to the north of the site. Pottery suggests that these may be of Roman date. Further features in Trench 03 to the south contained Roman pottery and may be related to those features in Trench 01. An undated ditch was found in Trench 02, although its alignment with the gullies in Trench 03 might suggest a similar date. The Archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council Heritage Services under accession No X.A.161.2004. |
