Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation (strip, plan and sample) was carried out by ULAS during ground-works at Red Hill Field School, Copt Oak Road, Narborough, Leicestershire (SP 53206 97739). The watching brief was required as a condition of the planning consent, issued by Blaby District Council, for a new classroom building at the school on the site of a previous temporary structure. A Roman building was discovered at the site, when the school was constructed in the 1980s. The area was stripped under archaeological control and supervision and the excavation of most of the foundation trenches was observed. Throughout much of the area the ground had been stripped previously and then made-up to provide a level playing surface. Over much of the area a yellowish brown silty clay overlay yellow clay with flint and chalk. No archaeological remains were discovered during the work. This may be due to landscaping during the construction of the school. The yellowish clay was up to 0.8m deep in places and was possibly colluvial in origin. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A154.2011. |
