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 an extension to the Highways Depot at Arbour Road, Croft, Leicestershire. Groundworks involved the removal of topsoil and subsoil and site levelling prior to construction of an area of hard standing and a balancing pond. Attendance at the site occurred from 21st to the 23rd September 2009. The watching brief did not reveal any archaeological deposits or features. However, the recovery of a small quantity of prehistoric flint artefacts and a single sherd of Neolithic pottery from the area of the proposed balancing pond is likely to indicate the presence of human activity and/or occupation on or in close proximity to the development area. The site archive will be deposited with the Leicestershire County Council under the accession number X.A182.2009. |
