Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during ground-works at The Forge, 15, Old Forge Road, Fenny Drayton, Leicestershire (SP 350 969). The work was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches for a new extension to the existing house. The site lies within the medieval and post-medieval core of the village and close to known archaeological remains. An archaeological evaluation carried out in 1999 to the rear of the current site revealed medieval pottery and tile. The remains of the furnace of the old forge lie adjacent to the site. A large pit, most likely associated with the remains of the furnace at the site was revealed during the watching brief. Part of the original timber framing of the house was exposed during the work. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A38.2013. |
