Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Mr A. Emery to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks in advance of the construction of new two storied extension to Elm Farm, Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire. The proposed development area had been identified as being of archaeological potential, located within the historic settlement core of the village. The exposed section on the Main Street frontage revealed an earlier clay floor and other potentially archaeological layers. These layers were unaffected by the groundworks and remain in-situ. Evidence of late 19th- or early 20th-century truncation was observed within the easternmost footing trench as well as a four-post timber structure, possibly stalls. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the accession number X.A172. 2010. |
