Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was under taken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during ground-works on a former builder's yard at The Old Mill House, 37 Edmondthorpe Road, Wymondham, Leicestershire (SK 85310 18650). The site lies at the southern edge of the medieval and post-medieval historic settlement core of Wymondham close to the presumed position of Wymondham watermill. Consequently, there was a likelihood that buried archaeological remains would be affected by the development. The observations during the excavation of trenches for foundations for a new office building on the site revealed that, apart from some thin layers of silty subsoil, the sequence largely consisted of hardcore lying over truncated soils over the natural reddish brown clay. This suggested that the area had been stripped sometime in the past before the area was overlain with hardcore. A small section of a silty deposit, most likely caused by root action or a small tree bole was observed in part of the section but otherwise there were no features observed. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A24.2013. |
