Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land at the proposed MAB3 building, MIRA Technology Park, Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire (SP 36821 96192) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 17-18 June, 2015. Work was undertaken for MIRA Ltd. in order to establish the nature, extent, date and significance of any archaeological deposits which may be present, in order that an assessment may be made of the impact of any proposed development on the buried remains. Five 30m x 1.6m trenches were excavated within the proposed development area, sampling c.5% of the area of the planned MAB3 building and associated car park. Slight traces of medieval ridge and furrow, modern field drains and two undated tree throws were recorded but overall the investigation was negative for archaeologically significant substrata, features or artefacts. The project archive will be held by Leicestershire Museum Service under the accession number X.A67.2015. |
