Abstract: |
In June 2009, an archaeological trial excavation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on behalf of CgMs Consutling on land at Stretton Road, Great Glen, Leicestershire. Sixteen trenches each 50m long, and two areas, one 20m by 14m and the other 30m by 12m, were excavated. Archaeological features were concentrated within a group of four trenches in the north-western part of the area. A small quantity of pottery suggests that occupation began in the Middle to Late Iron Age, perhaps the 1st century BC. Subsequently the site seems to have been in continuous usage through the 1st century AD to the 4th century AD, with a complex of intercutting Roman settlement enclosure ditches and related features. The remains probably represent a small rural, agricultural settlement, although finds such as flue, wall and floor tile and a possible fragment of window glass may indicate the presence of a substantial late Roman building in the vicinity. |
