Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land to the north of Birstall in the parishes of Wanlip, Thurcaston, Rothely and Cropston, Leicestershire. The work was commissioned in advance of a Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE) of up to 1650 dwellings, up to 15ha of employment land, local centre, community resource centre, reserved land for travelling show people sites, primary school, allotments, open space and associated works. Full permission has been granted for road infrastructure, 193 dwellings, a country park, open space and landscaping. A geophysical survey has been undertaken (Phase Site Investigations 2014) which has located anomalies, some of possible archaeological origin. Forty Eight trenches were excavated across the area of proposed development with archaeological features in 7 of the 48 trenches. Features included gullies, ditches and postholes with diagnostic sherds of pottery indicating a Middle-Late Iron Age date. The archive for this site will be deposited with Leicestershire County Museums with accession number X.A113.2017. |
