Abstract: |
This report details the working methods and results of an archaeological watching brief undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on at the rear of 61 Main Street, Foxton, Leicestershire. The work conducted in order to define and record any archaeological deposits exposed during the construction of a two-storey domestic house, a garage, and an associated soak away. Foundation trenches approximately 56m total in length by 0.8m wide by 1.3m deep revealed a former cultivation soil dating from the 11th to 14th centuries AD. An environmental sample taken from this context revealed evidence of oat, wheat and barley - a result of possible storage, processing or in the case of wheat, cultivation. This layer sealed four post holes, possibly relating to an earlier or contemporary structure. Sealing the cultivation layer was a subsoil containing 16th- to 18th-century pottery. |
