Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the Fernie Hunt Kennels, Nether Green, Great Bowden, Leicestershire (SP 735 883). The work was commissioned by the Trustees of the Fernie Hunt in advance of the construction of new buildings on the site. The work followed on from an evaluation by trial trenching carried out by ULAS in July 2011, when a number of archaeological features dated to the Late Anglo-Saxon to Early High Medieval period (c. 850-1250) were discovered. The archaeological work involved the stripping of an area in advance of development, which would be the main area of excavation along with the excavation of a number of small evaluation trenches to evaluate the impact from the construction of a new access road and a proposed horse exercise area. Trenches for the foundations inside the partially finished building were also be subject to watching brief. The trenches and service trenches were largely negative. The main excavation area revealed a number of intercutting ditches, gullies and pits. Nearly all features contained datable artefacts giving a series of phases and dates ranging from the Late Saxon period to the Late medieval period, with the largest assemblages dating from the Late Saxon to Early High medieval period; a similar range to dates and material to that of the previous evaluation. |
