Abstract:
An archaeological watching-brief was carried out at Manor Farm House, 3 Church Lane, Plungar, Leicestershire (SK 7700 3407) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 21st and 23rd of June 2011. The work was carried out on behalf of Dr V Kemp in advance of construction of a new outbuilding to the south of the farmhouse. The work involved supervision and inspection of overburden removal, ground reduction and machine excavated foundations for any indication of archaeological activity. A previous evaluation by ULAS in February 2011 uncovered a revetted earth bank which produced late medieval and early-post-medieval pottery and the remains of a pond. Both features were thought to be associated with a medieval manorial complex. During the watching-brief more of the earth bank was reduced during groundwork but no further sign of the stone revetment was found. A small area of burnt material was seen in section in the area's south-east corner and a possible gully or ditch was recorded on the southern edge of the development. Six sherds of late medieval and post-medieval pottery were recovered from the subsoil along with a small quantity of animal bone. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under the accession number X.A18.2011.
