Abstract: |
An archaeological strip map and sample investigation was undertaken in October 2017 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Mr. Ben Crowd on land at 39 Main Street, Great Bowden, Leicestershire, in advance of proposed residential development. The investigation represented a follow up to a preliminary archaeological evaluation which provided evidence for medieval archaeological activity in the form of a single cess or rubbish pit of medieval date located at the rear of the property. The strip, map and sample investigation produced further evidence for rear property medieval occupation in the form of gullies and refuse pits, defined by probable burgage property boundary ditches leading south from the Main Street frontage. Ceramic evidence suggests refuse deposition over a lengthy period, ranging between the 10th or 11th and the 16th or 17th centuries. |
