Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation (strip, plan and sample) was carried out by ULAS during ground-works at Ashton Close, Mowmacre Hill, Leicester (NGR: SK 578 088). The work was required as a condition of the planning consent, issued by Leicester City Council, and was carried out prior to the erection of a two storey industrial unit with associated landscaping and car parking at the site. The site was once part of larger field, which has been the subject of archaeological evaluations on two previous occasions. Archaeological work to the south and north of the site has revealed substantial Iron Age occupation evidence. However, evaluation trenches excavated within the current site itself were negative for archaeological features. Five evaluation trenches were placed across the site in areas not covered by the previous evaluations. All were found to be negative of archaeological features; only plough-marks and field drains were identified. The results are in keeping with the previous work on the site. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicester Museums. |
