Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Susan Heggie to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the groundworks in advance of building work at Beggarsbush Close, Frisby on the Wreake, Leicestershire. Planning permission has been granted for the construction of two timber barns, a mess room, a compost toilet, menage and wind turbine. The proposed development area had been identified as being of possible archaeological significance due to its proximity to known sites of archaeological importance, including prehistoric and Roman finds. Nothing of archaeological significance was observed during the course of this watching brief on 21 August 2009. The monitored groundworks uncovered evidence of extensive ground disturbance and this, along with the lack of any of the ridge and furrow seen in surrounding fields surviving within the proposed development area, suggest the site has undergone significant recent ground disturbance. The archive will be held by Leicester County Council, under the accession number X.A168. 2009. |
