Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in September 2009 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Leicestershire County Council prior to construction of a community centre at Church Lane, Barwell, Leicestershire. Ground works involved the removal of topsoil and subsoil and site levelling prior to the excavation of foundations for the new community centre. Attendance at the site occurred from 1st to the 17th September 2009. The watching brief revealed a possible medieval ditch and two smaller undated linear features, potentially representing field or property boundary markers. The latter were on a different alignment and so may represent a different phase of activity to the companions. The concentration of these features in the northern part of the site and the recovery of quantities of prehistoric flint artefacts and medieval pottery from the overlying topsoil hints at settlement activity, possibly centred to the north towards Church Lane. In addition, the southern area revealed small undated archaeological features sealed beneath redeposited subsoil. The site archive will be deposited with the Leicestershire County Council under the accession number X.A154.2009. |
