Abstract: |
During March 2007 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at the Defence Animal Centre, Remount Road, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, in the vicinity of a known Roman settlement. The work was required to locate, define and characterise any surviving archaeological remains prior to construction of an indoor riding school. Four trenches were excavated, of which two produced no archaeological features. A pit was revealed in the westernmost trench and a possible gully in the trench closest to the southern boundary of the site. No finds were recovered from this feature and two small fragments of pottery recovered from the pit proved to be undiagnostic. The small amount of archaeology uncovered during this evaluation suggest that the site lies on the periphery of any past human activity. |
