Abstract: |
An archaeological strip, plan and record exercise was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during groundworks for the construction of residential units on land north of Almeys Lane and south of High Street, Earl Shilton, Leeicestershire (SP 468 979). The 'brief', was to identify any deposits of archaeological importance, through archaeologically controlled stripping and investigation within the development area. Initially, three trial trenches were excavated, being on average, 8.0 metres long, 1.8 metres wide and 1 metre deep. Two of the trenches were cut by modern features and the third, to the north, revealed a layer of sub soil disturbed by existing tree roots. As a result of the degree of modern disturbance to the south of the development site, further observation, here, was deemed unnecessary and whilst observation of soil stripping to the north was suggested, notification was not forthcoming. |
