Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during groundworks associated with works to conserve the medieval fishpond at Grace Dieu Priory, Leicestershire. The brief involved archaeological attendance for inspection and recording during these works. There were three aspects to the works. The first aspect, which was an area of trenching to seal the pond bank, revealed two masonry features in section and these were recorded. The second aspect, stabilisation of the embankment, was completed successfully and the archaeology appropriately protected. The third aspect, the creation of a spillway, will need to be amended in the spring, as the completed work was not as planned. The archive will be deposited with the Leicestershire and Rutland Sites and Monuments Record under the accession number X.A106.2014. |
