Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken on land to the south of Wycombe Road, Humberstone, Leicester by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on the 9th and 10th of February 2010. Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a small housing development on the site of a former school playing field and tennis court. The client requested that a programme of trial trenching take place to identify and locate any archaeological remains that may be effected by the development. Seven 15m long by 1.5m wide trenches were excavated within the site. A single 0.6m wide and 0.2m deep gulley following a north-east to south-west alignment was observed in Trench 5 on the eastern side of the site. No dateable material was recovered from this feature. No other archaeological features or deposits were observed within any of the other the trenches. |
