Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Manorfield Church of England Primary School, Stoney Stanton, Leicestershire (SP 4869 9399) in advance of a proposed new development at the site, which consists of the erection of new classrooms. The site lies within an area of archaeological interest. Several findspots are recorded in the vicinity of this site, which suggest Roman, early medieval and medieval activity in this area. In 2004 a test pit was excavated at the school, to the north-east of the proposed classroom, and medieval artefacts were recorded. Therefore there was a likelihood that archaeological remains were present on the site. A single trench was placed within the proposed footprint of the new classroom. This was negative for archaeological features and finds. A layer of soil and mill waste was discovered under the present subsoil. This may suggest that the area has been disturbed before and has been landscaped or used for dumping building material. The archive for this project will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A72.2012. |
