Abstract: |
An archaeological strip map and record exercise was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the Three Crowns Inn, High Street, Somerby, Leicestershire. The work took place between the 20th of November 2009 and the 1st of April 2010 in advance of the construction of three houses and a garage on the former car park belonging to the inn. The development site lies within the historic core of the village and is close to the village church. Earlier archaeological work for this development involved a Level 2 survey of the 18th and 19th century inn buildings and this report forms the final stage of the work. The results of an initial topsoil and overburden strip were observed, followed by the excavation of the house foundations. A large central area of recently disturbed subsoil was noted within the development area but no archaeological features or deposits were observed during the course of the work. |
