Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 20th and 22nd of October 2009 in advance of the construction of a single domestic dwelling on land adjacent to 27 Main Street, Branston. The development site lies within the historic settlement core of the medieval village and in a former garden belonging to number 27. Early OS map evidence suggests that the development site had some buildings along its frontage and some boundaries running through the site. The results of the initial scrub and topsoil strip were observed, followed by the excavation of the house foundations. The results revealed that the remaining topsoil covered approximately 0.3m of light orange brown silty sand above a substratum of orange brown silty sand and fragmented ironstone rubble. No archaeological deposits or features were observed within the exposed development area. Records will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council under Accession Number XA.195.2009 |
