Abstract:
An archaeological excavation was carried out at Park Hill Golf Club, Park Hill Road, Seagrave, Leicestershire (SK 6241 1670) in advance of the construction of a new football training ground. The archaeological excavations targeted two areas within the Golf Club and followed on from previous archaeological work. The two areas targeted the large rectangular enclosure (Area A) and an area containing two further smaller enclosures (Area B). The excavations revealed a multi-phased site, with a double and a single pit alignment, possibly the same alignment running between the two areas. A remains of a roundhouse lay within a later large rectangular enclosure within Area A, which itself was apparently superseded by two smaller enclosures, one of which included the southern arm of the roundhouse in its structure. In Area B, to the south, two smaller enclosures, of a similar form to the later enclosures in Area A, had been excavated across the line of the double pit alignment. A number of narrow and truncated gully features lay nearby and appeared to pre-date the enclosures. The features in both areas did not appear to be isolated and it is likely that they continue beyond the excavated areas. There were numerous pottery finds, along with animal bones and the remains of a fired clay oven plate. The artefactual evidence dates the site into the Late Iron Age, but otherwise cannot be closely dated with the phasing of the site based around stratigraphic evidence and the similarly of form of the features. The site did not appear to continue into the Romano-British period.
