Abstract: |
An Archaeological watching brief of groundworks at No. 3 Swithland Lane, Rothley, Leicestershire (Phase 2) was undertaken by ULAS on behalf of Mr and Mrs P Rodgers. The initial groundworks comprised the removal of concrete surface, ground reduction and the excavation of new foundations for a new extension. Attendance at the site occurred from the 16th to the 17th September 2010. A possible 2nd century Roman ditch or pit and scatter of granite stone rubble were found during the construction Phase 1 extension, located on the south gable. A similar granite stone rubble deposit was observed within the trenches of the Phase 2 extension on the northern gable. The house is located approximately 125 metres to the north of a known Roman villa. The archive will be deposited with Archaeology, Environment and Heritage Services (Leicestershire County Council Museum), subject to their confirmation. Accession No. X.A23.2010 |
