Abstract: |
Archaeological strip, map and record was carried out on land at the site of the former Mountsorrel Library, Market Place, Mountsorrel, Leicestershire (NGR: SK 5834 1509). This work was in advance of the proposed residential development of seven new dwellings and associated car parking and landscaping. This woek was carried out on behalf of Clegg Contrsuction by University of Leicester Archaeological Services between the 17th and 28th March 2008. The watching brief revealed the lower courses of stone walls, parts of three stone cellars and a stone lined well, all of which formed parts of 18th century stone and timber frame buildings which stood on the site prior to the construction of the library. Further 19th century additions to the building were also discovered including a ceramic quarry tiled floor set on a concrete base and 19th century reconstruction in brick of the cellars. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Heritage Services Section accession number: XA33.2008. |
