Abstract: |
This document is a fieldwork report for an archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at 51 Main Street, Desford, Leicestershire (SK 47730 03549) in advance of residential development. The development site consists of an area of gardens to the rear of several properties on the south east side of Main Street, Desford. A total of four trenches were opened across the gardens, intended to traverse the footprints of the proposed buildings although the locations were flexible to avoid mature vegetation, boundaries and protected trees. The evaluation revealed evidence for archaeological activity in the form of pits and postholes of possibly medieval date to the south of the proposed development area. After direction from Leicester County Council planning department one trench was expanded to determine the extent of these remains. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A92.2019 |
