Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at New Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire (SK 531 017), during September 2015, being part of a staged larger project. The work was in advance of a proposed mixed use development. Eighteen trenches were excavated targeting the Phase 1 residential areas R5 parts 1 and 2, the Main Street roadline towards the M1 bridge in the east, and a trench adjacent to an area of Bronze Age cremations in R4. The majority of the proposed area proved negative during the current phase of works. However in the east area along the proposed new Main Street prehistoric activity was identified, which consisted of linear features, pits and post-holes. A small amount of pottery and worked flint was recovered from this area, and evidence for burning was identified in the form of charcoal and much heat cracked stone. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number XA112.2011.h |
