Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological evaluation for Oakham Road, Somerby, Leicestershire, LE14 2QL (SK 7831 1027), on behalf of Hazelton Homes. Six trenches, totalling 282.56m², of the site, were excavated to evaluate an area in advance of a proposed residential development. The archaeological work was carried out from the 16th to 18th of July 2018, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, Section 12: Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment. The geophysical anomalies proved to have been caused by modern drains. There was some evidence from plough scars and furrows to suggest past agricultural activity, and land drains across the site, but no archaeological deposits were observed during the evaluation. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire Museums under the Accession Number X.A77.2018. |
