Abstract: |
An archaeological attendance and recording (watching brief) was undertaken at Deepings School, Park Road, Deeping St. James between the 8th and 11th of October 2019 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The work took place during groundworks for a replacement DT Departmental block for the school. There are a number of known archaeological sites within the vicinity of the development site. Medieval coins and pottery were discovered during the construction of the existing school buildings adjacent to the site, all of which suggested that there was potential for similar archaeological deposits to be revealed during any current groundworks. The groundworks were located within a former playground area which had been surfaced with tarmac. Excavation of foundation pads for the new building showed that the tarmac and its stone bedding layers had been laid directly on top of the natural substratum. All topsoil, subsoil and an unknown depth of natural had been removed to create a level surface when the playground was constructed in the 1950s. No archaeological features or deposits were seen during the groundworks. |
