Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during groundworks for a proposed bungalow adjacent to and within the grounds of the existing Lawrence House, Back Lane, Claybrooke Magna. The brief involved attendance for inspection and recording during ground disturbance to identify any deposits of archaeological importance. Stripping of the top soil revealed a disturbed layer interspersed with patches of sand. Trenching identified a series of pits, on average 1.5 metres deep, cutting into the natural sand. The area designated for development had, therefore, been subject to sand quarrying, backfilled, probably, in the middle of the nineteenth century. The archive will be deposited with the Leicestershire and Rutland Sites and Monuments Record. |
