Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at 70, Leicester Road, Sharnford, Leicestershire (SP 48297 91897) in advance of the demolition of the factory on the site and the construction of 4 new dwellings and access. A total of four trenches was excavated. A single trench was placed on the asphalt at the front of the site and three were located within the factory (Cosford Works) itself. The work required the removal of asphalt and concrete prior to the areas being stripped to archaeological levels or sub-stratum. The evaluation revealed part of a wall structure and two rectangular brick structures that were most likely cold water tanks. All the features are likely to date from the mid to late 19th century and are possibly related to the earlier buildings that were on the site prior to the construction of the Cosford Works, sometime in the early 20th century, some of which are illustrated on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map of the area. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A9.2012.
