Abstract: |
An archaeological fieldwalking survey was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for land at Shawell Quarry Fields Farm Extension, Shawell, Leicestershire (SP 5354 8179). The survey was commissioned by Archaeologica Ltd on behalf of Lafarge Tarmac in advance of the proposed quarry extension. The survey took place in December 2014. Ground conditions for fieldwalking in field 2 were poor due to advanced crop obscuring the ground surface, but adequate in fields 3 and 4 where the crop was less advanced. The survey revealed a small quantity of medieval and post-medieval pottery, with a larger amount of more modern sherds also present. No pre medieval dated pottery was recovered during the survey. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire Museums Service under the accession no: X.A154.2014. |
