Abstract: |
In October and November 2013, an archaeological excavation was carried out by MOLA, formerly Northamptonshire Archaeology, on behalf of CgMs Consulting, on land at Crowfoot Way, Broughton Astley, Leicestershire. The works identified a middle to late Iron Age settlement, comprising two principal roundhouses, an ancillary structure and a small D-shaped enclosure bounded to the east by a ditch. To the west of the boundary was an isolated structure that was superseded by a ditch. The site produced a small pottery assemblage that included some briquetage. The site was traversed by remnant furrows of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation. To the east was a post-medieval field boundary that probably went out use when the midland railway was built near by in the 1840s. |
