Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken on land south and east of 64, Cosby Road, Littlethorpe, Leicestershire by ULAS between the 24th and 26th of October 2011. Nine trial trenches were excavated in response to proposals for residential development. The results of the archaeological evaluation were generally negative, although a small pit was revealed in Trench 4 in the southern part of the application area. The pit contained remains of high-temperature burning activity including broken fragments of fired clay, heat-cracked stones and burnt bone. Two flint artefacts were also present although these were not closely datable. Given the available evidence a prehistoric date for the feature may be postulated. |
