Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land at 44 Main Street, Swannington, Coalville, Leicestershire (SK 4159 1640) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 13-14th September, 2018. Work was undertaken for Brian J Knapp in order to establish the nature, extent, date and significance of any archaeological deposits which may be present, in order that an assessment may be made of the impact of any proposed development on the buried remains. The application area comprised a c.450 sq m area of garden/rough ground on the east side of Main Street and adjacent to the lane Tan Yard. Medieval activity is known from the vicinity of the site and the area has a strong industrial heritage. Evidence suggests this part of the Main Street frontage was originally developed by c.1800. Two trenches were excavated within the plot of 44 Main Street, one along the frontage of Tan Yard, the other crossing the actual proposed footprint of the new building. Both trenches exposed activity dating to the late 18th-early 19th century, and associated with known late Georgian buildings on site. This included stone and brick foundations of the main buildings, outbuildings, and ancillary activity. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service under the accession number X.A86.2018. |
