Abstract: |
ULAS carried out an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of a trench to the rear (north-west) of the cottage attached to Groby Old Hall, Markfield Road, Groby, Leicester (NGR: SK 5239 0759) on 22.8.2011. Located within the area of the Scheduled Monument of Groby motte and bailey castle and manorial complex (National Monument No. 17066), the watching brief was a requirement of Scheduled Monument Consent for the work which aimed to alleviate damp problems within the cottage. The watching brief recorded evidence of a brick-built wall foundation associated with an earlier phase of building, likely to date from between the 15th and 18th centuries; a second undated brick foundation; a granite sett path of 19th or early 20th century date and a large cut feature of uncertain function containing finds attributable to the early 19th century. The archive will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums under the accession code: X.A128.2011. |
