Abstract: |
The evaluation of Land at Holliers Walk, Hinckley, consisted of the excavation of 5 trenches, four of which measured 20m long and one measured 13.5m. The trenches were positioned in the eastern half of the development area which totalled 0.82 hectares and is ahead of a planned retail development. The evaluated area is planned to be lowered to produce a flat carpark. The results of the evaluation show post-medieval and modern features were present in the north of the investigated area beneath the remains of a post-medieval brick building fronting Holliers Walk. One feature also contained a single fragment of Roman pottery with a fragment of modern pottery. A large pit dating to the post-medieval period was found close to the central northern boundary which truncated an earlier pit to the south-east and layers to the north-west. A post medieval building was found fronting New Buildings road which contained a cellar, brick surface and brick walls. The structure was overlaying earlier pitting of probable post-medieval date. The area towards the southern edge of site contained a deep layer of building rubble and the natural substratum was not reached in the trench. The trench within the central part of the site was negative for features |
