Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by ULAS on behalf of Radleigh Homes Limited on land at 1008, Melton Road, Syston, Leicestershire (SK 615 106). This work was carried out in advance of proposed residential development. Six trenches were excavated from which it was concluded that the previous construction of a bungalow had caused considerable disturbance and altered the landscape of the site. However, a pit and a post-hole were uncovered in trenches five and six respectively. These may have been prehistoric but no evidence was found to support this. Some worked flint fragments were located in the topsoil. No other features of archaeological significance were identified. The site archive will be held by the Historic and Natural Environment Team, Leicestershire County Council (Accession Number XA228.2004). |
