Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of Tungsten Properties Ltd. to undertake an archaeological excavation in advance of a development at Coventry Road, Hinckley, Leicestershire (SP 406 935). An archaeological evaluation carried out by ULAS (ULAS Report No 99-117) had identified the site as having archaeological potential and the Senior Archaeologist at Leicestershire County Council required a programme of archaeological investigation as a condition of planning permission. As a result of the evaluation a large area to the north of the site was identified as requiring open area excavation, covering an area of approximately 0.4 hectares. Excavation revealed a palaeochannel (former stream course) aligned east - west and a linear ditch running north-south in the northernmost corner of the site. Other potential archaeological features were on examination found to be of natural origin. |
