Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation was undertaken as part of the programme of archaeological works required by conditional planning consent for residential development on land at Grantham Road, Bottesford, Leicestershire. Six trenches were excavated revealing features of medieval and early post-medieval date together with a small amount of residual Roman pottery. Medieval pottery of 11th-12th and 13th-14th century date was present but the small amount recovered suggests only a low level of activity. The greatest density of features was seen towards the front of the plot including ditches, gulleys, pits and post-holes indicating occupation of this area in the 15th-16th century with some continued usage into the 17th-18th century. |
