Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during the excavation of foundation trenches for a new miniature railway station at Stapleford Park, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (NGR SK813 183). Archaeological remains revealed during the work included stone building foundations, apparently demolished during the 17th or 18th century, medieval pits of the 14th century and late medieval/early post medieval features including a ditch and several pits. The remains are thought to relate to the deserted medieval village of Stapleford, given the close proximity of the site to the surviving earthwork remains. A range of finds was associated with the archaeological features including pottery, animal bone, glass and brick. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums under the Accession number X.A186.2005 . |
