Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Holywell Spring Farm, Burton Road, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire (SK 3397 1858). The work was commissioned by Matrix Medical in advance of the erection of a new medical centre and pharmacy at the site. The land lies in a rich archaeological landscape, with extensive medieval and post- medieval remains and close to remains from the Neolithic period through to the Romano British periods. There was potential for archaeological remains of these periods to be present within the application area. A total of six trenches were placed across the proposed medical centre site. All six trenches were negative for archaeological features. A number of pottery sherds from several periods were found within the topsoil of trench 1, including Roman and medieval pottery. The pottery may have been present due to manuring, or may have washed down from the higher ground to the north. The archive for this project will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A144.2014. |
