Abstract: |
Archaeological work was undertaken prior to groundworks for a new dwelling on land adjacent to 19, Main Street, Kilby, Leicestershire (NGR SP 6194 9541). Five trenches were excavated within the area, comprising approximately 35% of the site and c. 50% of the areas which will be impacted on. Investigation revealed a single large, but apparently shallow, archaeological feature at the edge of the area, from which pottery dating from the 11th to the 15th centuries was recovered. It was not possible to expose the full extent of the feature, as this was outside the house footprint. The depth and lack of definition suggests that the feature may represent a spread of material infilling a hollow, rather than a ditch. No archaeological features were revealed across the rest of the house footprint. A watching brief was also undertaken in April 2014 during the groundworks but no further archaeological deposits were revealed. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council under the Accession Number X. A170. 2013. |
