Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken for Severn Trent Water Plc. by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 9th, 10th and 11th of June 2003 during topsoil stripping in preparation for trench excavation for a rising mains renewal running to the north west of the village of Great Dalby (NGR: SK 741 145). The construction works are located in a field containing ridge and furrow and associated earthworks. Because of these features and the proximity to the village of Great Dalby the works were seen as having potential for uncovering archaeological deposits. A band of topsoil and turf was partially stripped along the length of the pipeline to an approximate depth of 0.15 metres to reveal, in places, pale orange-brown silty clay subsoil. Within this a 0.3 metre wide x 1.0 metre deep trench was to be excavated into the natural substratum but was not observed. No archaeological features or deposits were recorded. Records will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council, Heritage Services, Accession number X.A.3.2004 |
