Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out between the 3rd and the 10th of March 2009 by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS), at Sapcote Playing Fields, Hinckley Road, Leicestershire (SP 487 934). The site is part of the Scheduled Monument of Sapcote castle (SM Reference 17036) and ULAS were commissioned by Sapcote Parish Council to undertake Archaeological Attendance for Inspection and Recording (an intensive watching brief) as required by the Historic and Natural Environment team at Leicestershire County Council and the Scheduled Monument Consent issued by Department for Culture Media and Sport. The results of the investigations revealed the presence of archaeological deposits associated with the backfilling of the late medieval moat. An earlier feature was also recorded and was perhaps an early cut for the moat or adjoining pond. |
