Abstract: |
An archaeological observation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) on land to the rear of The Hatchery, Main Street, Leire, Leicestershire during the levelling of ground and excavation of footings for a new residential building. The works followed a programme of demolition on outbuildings to the rear of The Hatchery which had undergone a Historic Building Assessment prior to this (Garwood 2014) and a previous archaeological observation (Sutherland and Trott 2016). During the recent observation, that relates to this report, three probable occupation/backyard layers were identified, two of which held post-medieval artefacts. Additionally, two drains were recorded which were probably modern in date but potentially dated to the late post-medieval period. The only other activity observed was modern. |
