Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in February 2018 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on behalf of Archaeologica for Tarmac on land to the south of Brooksby Grange Farm, Brooksby Quarry Phase 13b, Leicestershire. The fieldwork was undertaken as part of a pre-planning enquiry for a proposed extension to the quarry. The scheme of archaeological evaluation took the form of 6 trial trenches excavated down to archaeological deposits or natural ground. The evaluation revealed archaeological activity in one trench, at the west of the area and close to the perimeter of the site. Here a north-south gully was identified the excavation of which produced three sherds of pottery, animal bone and slag. The pottery suggests a Saxon date for the feature. The other trenches produced no further features or finds. The site archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council under the accession number X.A57 2006. |
