Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Loughborough University Estates Development Unit to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land adjacent to Holywell Park, Loughborough, where outline planning permission has been granted for the development of the area as playing fields. A geophysical survey identified a number of potentially archaeologically significant anomalies (Smalley 2007). Thirteen evaluation trenches were excavated across the proposed development area. The two southernmost trenches contained a number of small undated pits while three charcoal clamps were recorded in other trenches, mostly to the north of the proposed development area, again undated. Otherwise, there was no evidence of earth-fast archaeology within the proposed development area. The geophysical anomalies all appeared to have been caused by modern disturbance and intrusions. The archive for the geophysical survey and trial trenching will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the accession number X.A3.2008 |
