Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during ground-works on a site adjacent to the Cherry Tree Public House, Little Bowden, Market Harborough. Leicestershire (NGR: SP 7398 8701). The watching brief was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services for Everards Brewery during the excavation of a single foundation trench on the site associated with a new dwelling. The land lies within the historic core of Little Bowden and close to the church and the 17th Century Manor House. There was therefore potential for buried archaeological features. A 15m long north-south oriented trench was excavated by JCB fitted with a toothed bucket to a depth of 2m. A layer containing cobbles was observed around 0.11m below the surface, running for around 5m along the trench.The cobbles petered out at around 2m and brick and other building material could be seen following the same line as the cobbles.The layer could not be dated. Further work on the site may reveal the extent of the layer to the east and west. The archive for this report will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums Services with accession number X.A116.2012. |
