Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in December 2013 on land at MIRA, Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services and on behalf of MIRA Ltd. The fieldwork was undertaken as part of a pre-planning enquiry in response to an application for new buildings and following a desk-based assessment and a geophysical survey in order to assess the potential impact of the development on any archaeological remains as may have been present. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of five 30m by 1.8m trenches targeting the locations of proposed Buildings 1 and 3. These revealed no definite features of archaeological significance, with only a possible post-hole and a natural shallow scoop feature of uncertain date in one trench. Additionally, medieval plough furrows and modern features were also present. No artefacts were recovered during the work. |
