Abstract: |
An archaeological strip map and sample excavation was undertaken in May 2017 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Leicestershire County Council. The work took place on land at St. Luke's Primary School, Thurnby, Leicestershire LE7 9PN (NGR SK 64769 03936), prior to the construction of a new classroom (Planning Application 2016/REG3MI/0283/LCC). Investigations suggested that the ground had been previously built-up; natural subsoil was only encountered on one part of the site. Modern pottery and glass were recovered from the backfilled soil. Human bones, deriving from a minimum of two individuals were recovered close to the north-eastern end of the excavation area. These are believed to have been disturbed from a nearby archaeological context and re-deposited within the site, as part of the made-ground. A bundle of services, which probably supplied a former mobile classroom, since demolished was also revealed. No other archaeological deposits were observed or artefacts recovered during the work. The site archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council under the accession number X.A52.2017. |
