Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at 55-57 Sycamore Street, Blaby, Leicestershire (SP 568 977) in advance of a new development on the site. The site lies within the historic settlement core of Blaby and there was some possibility of medieval or post-medieval remains on the site. The trial trench was placed within the southern area of the site, which had recently been cleared of hard standing. The northern part of the site had contained a building and therefore had low potential for archaeology. The removal of the hard standing had left little of the upper soils and so the trench was very shallow. The excavation revealed 200mm of subsoil overlying the natural sub-stratum of clay, sand and gravel. No archaeological features were discovered during the evaluation. The archive for the project deposited with Leicestershire County Council Heritage Services with accession number X.A127.2010. |
