Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in October 2013 at land to the east and west of Broughton Way, Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Jelson Ltd. The fieldwork was undertaken in response to an on-going planning application for a mixed use development and following two desk-based assessments and a geophysical survey in order to assess the potential impact of the development on any archaeological remains as may have been present. The archaeological evaluation, comprising 71 30m by 1.8m trenches, at Broughton Way, Broughton Astley, revealed localised evidence of archaeological activity in the form of a small ditched enclosure likely representing a farmstead of Late Iron Age date in the eastern area. The site archive will be deposited with the Leicestershire County Council under the accession number X.A162.2013. |
