Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at The Cedars, 29-33 London Road, Kegworth, Leicestershire (SK 48819 26496) in advance of the development of the associated land, currently a large garden to the rear of a Grade II listed house. The site lies adjacent to the Scheduled Monument at The Wymeshead, a series of medieval village earthworks. There was a possibility that the earthworks continued into the proposed development area. There are also other known archaeological sites and monuments in the vicinity, including the medieval historic core of the town. A total of five trenches were excavated within the garden area: four on the lawns and one in an area of allotments. All were negative for archaeological remains, except that two linear features, which contained modern brick were revealed in Trench 01 at the northern end of the lawn, with one of the features possibly continuing into Trench 04 to the west. Trench 04 also contained the remains of a brick-built ornamental pond, or related garden feature. The trenches also showed that the land had been landscaped at the southern end of the lawn to build up the land to provide a level surface for the tennis court that was existed on the lawn. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A32.2017.
