Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at Willows, Shackerstone Walk, Carlton, Leicestershire (SK 3933 0491) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on the 16th June 2011. The work was carried out on behalf of Ms Hazel Davenport in advance of construction of a new house on the site of former outbuildings. The work involved supervision and inspection of machine excavated foundations on land south of the present house for any indication of archaeological activity. The footings of the former outbuilding and a number of modern service trenches had caused significant damage to the underlying stratigraphic sequence and the only features of note were two areas of loose, poorly sorted stones in the southern third of the site. These may represent an early surface and wall footing but there was nothing substantive to suggest that they were manmade and they may have been naturally occurring areas of stone collecting in undulations in the surface of the natural clay substratum. Two sherds of 13th century pottery were recovered from the subsoil. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under the accession number X.A87.2011. |
