Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services at Bakers Cottage, 29, King Street, Seagrave, Leicestershire LE12 7LY (SK 6182 1767), during ground-works associated with a new extension to the existing building, an 18th century cottage, raised by a storey in the 19th century and currently Grade II listed. The house lies within the historic core of the village and there are medieval earthworks nearby; the watching involved the monitoring of the striping of the proposed extension area to floor levels and the excavation of foundation trenches. The excavations revealed thick garden soil over a buried topsoil and subsoil in some areas, lying over the natural stony clay. No archaeological finds or features were retrieved or revealed during the watching brief. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A 105.2019. |
