Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services during ground-works at 33, Main Street, Queniborough, Leicestershire (SK 647 121). The site lies within the medieval and post-medieval core of the town and a medieval stone hearth was discovered on the site in 1989. The watching brief involved the monitoring of ground reduction and the excavation of foundation trenches on the site, associated with the erection of two new dwellings. An area at the rear of the site was stripped of upper soils to a depth of around 0.25m. The area was covered in thick loamy garden soil and the depth of stripping was not sufficient to expose the subsoil or natural sub-stratum. An area at the south-eastern edge of the site, wherein the medieval was discovered was left undisturbed. Small areas of concrete and rubble were exposed in the stripped area, relating to the temporary structures that once covered this part of the site. The foundation trenches at the front of the site were largely negative except for a two small sections of brick wall and rubble against the north-western section alongside a brick pillar These may relate to a building; the brick 'pillar' may have been part of a chimney breast with the walls and rubble representing the demolished walls of the building. The early maps of the area show an L-shaped building lying here. These remains are likely to represent part of the foundations of the earlier building. An archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council with accession number X.A3.2012.
