Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by JS Bloor (Measham) Ltd to undertake an archaeologically controlled topsoil strip and watching brief during groundworks in advance of the construction of new residential units on land at Mill Lane, Rearsby, Leicestershire. The proposed development area had been identified as being of archaeological potential, located within the historic settlement core of the village. Monitoring of the excavation of the footing trenches of plots 7, 8, and 9 revealed extensive quarrying, possibly medieval in date, but also more recent ground disturbance. The controlled strip of plots 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 uncovered a number of archaeological deposits including a hearth base dating from the 9th-12th century. Environmental evidence indicates the hearth base was associated with malting for brewing. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the accession number X.A38. 2011. |
