Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by CgMs Consulting for Quod Planning on behalf of Next Retail to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Everard's Brewery, Soar Valley Way, Enderby, Leicestershire, (NGR SK 55544 00033). A Written Scheme of Investigation for the evaluation (WSI, CgMs 2015) was submitted to the local planning archaeologist for approval in advance of fieldwork commencement. The work was undertaken in accordance with current national industry guidance issued by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA 2014a-e). The Site has been heavily impacted by landscaping that took place in the 1980s during the construction of Everard's Brewery. Deep intermittent brick rubble made ground deposits were commonly encountered, and the topsoil was homogenous to a depth (up to 0.55m) which suggests that it may have been imported or re-arranged on site recently. Four small linear features were discovered that were interpreted as wheel ruts caused by heavy machinery during these landscaping operations. Two further gullies, slightly larger than, but similar to the other wheel ruts, were recorded. These produced pottery. It is likely that much of the Site has been truncated by landscaping activities. The archaeology discovered is not significant and it seems unlikely that development will impact upon the archaeological record. |
