Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at Knighton Hall, Knighton Road, Leicester (SK 599 015) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 8th September and 26th November 2010. The work was carried out on behalf of University of Leicester Estates and Facilities Management Division during the installation of new external drains and remedial work inside the listed Hall. The work involved supervision and inspection of machine and hand excavated trenches for any indication of archaeological activity, and examination of interior wall surfaces stripped of render. The investigation identified possible garden features and a possible early cobbled path during exterior works. Interior remedial work revealed timbers which are likely to be in situ elements of timber framed range, which dates to late 16th century. The site archive will be held by Leicester Museum Service under the accession number A13.2010. |
