Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 8th and 10th May 2018 on land to the rear of 3-9 Borough Street, Kegworth, Leicestershire. The work took place as a condition of planning permission for the erection of three dwellings with vehicular access and parking. The assessment area lies within the historic settlement core of Kegworth, with several known archaeological sites dating from the Iron Age to post medieval periods located close to the site. The site is also immediately west of a suspected Anglo-Saxon 'burh' preserved within the present line of Borough Street. Two 15m long evaluation trenches identified late Saxon to early medieval activity across the site likely to be associated with burgage plots attached to the medieval high street. Other undated features of possible earlier origin were also identified within the southern area of the site. |
