Abstract: |
Trial trenching by ULAS on behalf of M. Duffin Builders Ltd in advance of proposed residential development to the rear of Hall Farm, Mere Road, Waltham on the Wolds revealed evidence for Roman activity of the 1st century AD. Three trenches contained several gullies and pits and there was evidence of small-scale iron working. Environmental remains suggested crop processing and consumption in the vicinity. The archaeological features may indicate a small Roman rural settlement or farmstead in the eastern and southern part of the site. Finds and records will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums, Arts and Records Service under Accession Number XA14.2016. |
