Abstract: |
In November 2014, a trial trench evaluation took place in advance of a proposed new Baptist church on land off Dog and Gun Lane in the town of Whetstone in Leicestershire. This was commissioned by KPW Architects and was conducted in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by the District Planning Authority. The results will be used to ascertain the archaeological potential of the site and, if necessary, to inform a scheme of mitigation to be carried out in advance of and/or during construction groundworks, in order fulfil the planning conditions. This consisted of four trenches, three of which measured 35m x 2m with a fourth trench at 15m x 2m. These were positioned to give the broadest sample of the area affected by the proposed development. Three trenches (2, 3 and 4) contained no archaeology, with Trench 1 containing a single pit of unknown use or function. |
