Abstract: |
This document details the results from a scheme of archaeological trenching on land adjacent to The Red House, 23 Main Road, Nether Broughton, Leicestershire, which is a Grade II Listed Building. The centre of the site is NGR SK 69600 25451. The site lies on the southern periphery of the village, the former car park of the former Red Lion public house. There are few known archaeological monuments in Nether Broughton; a pair of Iron Age quern stones unearthed in the Vicarage garden are the only evidence of prehistoric occupation, and the site lies over 4km from the Roman Fosse Way (the modern A46). Settlement here likely began in the Saxon period as a farmstead on the east side of the Dalby Brook, from which the settlement name is derived. Medieval occupation was focused around the Church of St. Mary on the north side of the modern village, where earthworks indicate settlement activity and a possible moated site. |
