Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was maintained during topsoil stripping at Brookside Farm, Barnsdale, Great Easton, Leics (SP 8430 9265). The work resulted in the discovery of a single pit, which contained numerous fragments of worked flint, of probable Mesolithic date. The pit was thought to be a tree-throw, which may have been utilised as a shelter during flint working or else it had occurred nearby while the tree was still standing and the flint incorporated when the tree fell, at a later date. A background scatter of abraded Roman and medieval pottery was also recovered. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council, Historic and Natural Environment under the Accession Number XA197 2003. |
