Abstract: |
An archaeological watching-brief was carried out at Pen Hill Farm, Cotes-de-Val, Gilmorton, Leicestershire (SP 55349 88610) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 16th January 2011. The work was carried out on behalf of Mr and Mrs B Sercombe in advance of construction of a new single-storey extension to the dining room on the west side of the farm house. The work involved supervision and inspection of machine excavated foundations within the Scheduled area of a moated site in the deserted medieval village of Cotes-de-Val for any indication of archaeological activity. The results of the watching-brief were negative, identifying ground heavily disturbed by modern services and the footings for a former extension to the present farm house. This is probably the extension visible on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (1885) but appears to have been demolished and rebuilt at some point in the early 20th century in the form it is still in today. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under the accession number X.A6.2012. |
