Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by ULAS in March 2011 in the gardens of Littlethorpe House, 10, The Square, Littlethorpe, Leicestershire (SP 542 969), in advance of proposed residential development. The evaluation trenching revealed only one deposit which could possibly be of some antiquity, the undated pit in trench 2. This could however also be a modern garden feature connected with the concrete wall adjacent. The garden area has undergone some alteration in the past, as evidenced by removed paths and backfilled cut features, for example. However, in addition to the lack of archaeological features, there is also an absence of any archaeological artefacts; it is slightly unusual for an evaluation in a village core to fail to locate a single sherd of pre-modern pottery. |
