Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological control and supervision of stripping on the previous site of Ecob's Garden Centre, Horsewell Road, Wigston Magna, Leicestershire, (SP 6070 9795) on the 21st and the 28th April 2009. THis work was undertaken on behalf of Wetleigh developments during the ground works for the construction of new dwellings. During a previous evaluation, a Roman ditch had been recorded. The controlled strip uncovered the continuation of the Roman ditch, which contained Roman pottery and animal bone. The pottery suggested a 3rd - 4th century date for the ditch. The site archive will be held with Leicestershire County Council, Community Services Department, under the accession code XA121.2008 |
