Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Bardon Road, Coalville, Leicestershire (NGR: SK 4404 1311). The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd in advance of the proposed development of the site for new housing. The site consists of two rectangular fields; one currently under pasture, the other overgrown with a combined size of approximately 5 hectares. The site lies close to the findspot for prehistoric artefacts, including a plano-convex knife dating from the Neolithic period and the location of a Bronze Age burial urn. A total of 18 30m trenches were excavated across the two fields. A system of ceramic and stone field drains was identified along with the remains of a number of furrows running north to south. The remains of a modern field boundary were also encountered in Field 1, running between three trenches as a narrow linear ditch. A patch of alluvium associated with a watercourse that passes through the field, was identified at the south-eastern edge of the site in Field 2. No archaeological features or finds associated with archaeological features were identified or recovered during the evaluation. The archive for this project will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A94.2015. |
