Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by ULAS on behalf of Severn Trent Ltd during the construction of a new sewage treatment works at Wistow (NGR SP 641 961). Topsoil stripping, the excavation of the reed-bed and associated features and the excavation of the pipe trench were observed, as the area lies close to the earthwork remains of the medieval village (Leics SM 30246/02). An undated ditch orientated NW-SE was located close to the reed-bed and part of a palaeochannel was observed in the pipe trench. No further archaeological deposits were encountered during this work, which took place intermittently between May and August 2003, although a small number of medieval pottery sherds were retrieved during the watching brief. The archive will be held by LCCHS under the Accession Number X.A134 2002. |
