Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out between 10th and 16th October 2007 by University Of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Newtown Linford Lane, Groby, Leicestershire (SK 524 075) on behalf of George Wimpey. The site is located within the medieval village core of Groby, adjacent to Groby Castle and the Old Hall. Following a previous evaluation in January 2007, two extra trial trenches were examined. One (trench 6) displayed a spread of building rubble but no structural features except stone land drains. The other (trench 7) had a large silt and clay filled cut, perhaps indicative of fish ponds or possibly an outer castle ditch. Pottery recovered suggested that this feature was being backfilled by the 12th or early/mid 13th century AD date. Subsequently, an archaeological watching brief was maintained between 30th October and 12 November 2007 on groundworks associated with the laying of a new sewer. This confirmed the presence of two walls, two ditches and improved understanding of the extents of the probable fishponds identified in the evaluation. Finds and records will be appended to the previous archive and deposited with Leicestershire Museums under accession number X.A22.2007 |
