Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by ULAS for UK Coal Mining Limited during the excavation of a haul road to service the proposed strip mining at Long Moor Surface Mine, Ravenstone, Leicestershire (SK 394 138). The site lies in an area of archaeological potential and has been the subject of an archaeological evaluation by geophysical survey, followed up by trial trench evaluation, which was carried out by ULAS in 2006. As the survey and evaluation showed a number of discrete undated features the planning authority requested that the haul road leading to the new mining area should be subject to a watching brief by an archaeologist during the stripping of the topsoil on the area prior to the construction of the haul road. The site was visited during August and September 2007 and topsoil stripping and the excavation of drainage gullies were observed. No archaeological features or finds associated with archaeological features were located during the watching brief. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicestershire Historic and Natural Environment Team with accession number X.A54.2008. |
