Abstract: |
An archaeological fieldwalking survey was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for land at Cosby Road, Countesthorpe, Leicestershire (SP 569 951). The evaluation was commissioned by Persimmon Homes in advance of the proposed development of the land for new housing. Ground conditions were only suitable for fieldwalking on one of three fields included in the assessment area; a second was pasture while the crop was too advanced in the third. The fieldwalking survey revealed a dispersed scatter of artefacts concentrated towards the eastern side of the field, which included Roman, medieval and post-medieval pottery, in addition to a small number of worked flints and ceramic building material. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council under the accession no. X.A80.2014. |
