Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in March 2014 on land at MIRA, Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of MIRA Ltd. The fieldwork was undertaken as part of a pre-planning enquiry in response to an application for a new building and following a desk-based assessment and a geophysical survey in order to assess the potential impact of the development on any archaeological remains that may be present. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of three 30m by 1.6m trenches targeting the locations of the proposed MIRA Building 4 (Sixpack building). These revealed medieval plough furrows but no definite features of archaeological significance were present. No artefacts were recovered during the work. The site archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council under the accession number XA1.2014. |
