Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during groundworks for a proposed bungalow, on the land adjacent to Sandfield Farm, 240 Station Road, Cropston. The brief involved archaeological attendance and control and supervision of any ground works on the site, which may disturb areas of archaeological potential. Overburden had been removed prior to the commencement of the watching brief and the ground compacted. Trenching revealed, largely, natural clay, disturbed only in the eastern corner by a square shallow back- filled cut, with a partial, thin granite lining. The fill included slate and handmade brick and the cut may relate to a small post-medieval storage area or outbuilding. There were no other features or deposits of archaeological significance. |
