Abstract: |
Archaeological Attendance was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Burbage Infants School, Grove Road, Burbage, Leicestershire, NGR: SP 442 924. The Leicestershire and Rutland Historic Environment Record (HER) show the development area lies in an area of archaeological interest therefore planning conditions required archaeological attendance during ground works. As the location of the development is within the historic settlement core of Burbage there was potential for archaeological remains. In addition there have also been possible Romano- British features to immediately to the west of the site. The work was in undertaken during development of the site, on a former tarmac area related to the school. The study area measured approximately 15 by 15 metres where a class room extension was to be constructed. The ground works had already begun where approximately 225 square metres of tarmac had been removed covering almost all of the building area. The archaeological attendance revealed that the ground had been heavily disturbed by previous structures possibly related to earlier school buildings. The top soil was removed onto a disturbed sub-soil. The new building footings required the removal of earlier building foundations which are likely to have disturbed the area. |
