Abstract: |
This Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) has been undertaken by Border Archaeology (BA) in response to an instruction from Jane Fradgley, Senior Development Manager, Deeley Homes, regarding a proposed housing scheme on land at Saxelby Road, Asfordby, Leicestershire. The site is centred on NGR: SK 70619 19337. The overall archaeological potential of the site has been assessed as Moderate to High, with particular reference to archaeological remains of prehistoric date, ranging broadly from the Mesolithic through to the Iron Age. There is also potential for features or finds of a Romano-British or medieval date to be encountered during the works associated with the proposed development. Given the Moderate to High archaeological potential of the site, it is recommended that an appropriate programme of archaeological work (most likely field evaluation), the details to be agreed with the Planning Archaeologist for Leicestershire (East), will be necessary to determine the extent, depth and significance of buried archaeological features and deposits across the site. |
