Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Laing O'Rourke to carry out an Archaeological Desk-based Assessment (DBA) of land within the MIRA complex near Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire (running from National Grid Reference (NGR) SP 36465 95164 and SP 36693 97553). The proposed development comprises the construction of a new water pipeline and will involve the excavation of a pipe trench and potential groundworks associated with a compound area, the location of which is currently unknown. The majority of the pipeline was inserted using directional drilling with some open cut areas. The watching brief monitored these open cut areas, which comprised eight trial holes and a 250 m long pipe trench with easement which extended across an open field at the northern end of the scheme. Despite the scheme's proximity to know heritage assets, particularly Roman Roads, no archaeological features or deposits were uncovered.
