Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological field evaluation at Great Dalby Primary School, Top End, Great Dalby, Leicestershire (SK 741 145) in advance of the construction of a new school building. The Leicestershire and Rutland Historic Environment Record (HER) had shown that the site lies within the medieval and post-medieval core of the village (MLE5943), close to recorded village earthworks (MLE8386) and the findspot of Roman coins (MLE8787). A 20m long trench was excavated within the footprint of the proposed new building. The excavation revealed shallow topsoil and subsoil overlying the Glacial till (boulder clay) natural substratum; no archaeological features or finds were located during the evaluation. A destructive search for great crested newts, which have been found in some quantity on the site, was carried out by a licensed ecologist during the evaluation. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Historic and Natural Environment Team with accession number X.A79.2010. |
