Abstract: |
This document is a fieldwork report for an archaeological trial trench evaluation and metal detector survey carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) and Ambion Historical and Archaeological Research Group on land at The White Swan Public House, 47 High Street, Stoke Golding, Leicestershire (SP3972 9737), in advance of residential development. Eight trenches was opened on the site, positioned to target the footprints of the proposed new buildings, an access road and car parking area. These revealed two shallow undated depressions filled with subsoils, and one yielding animal bone and flint flakes. Other geological features were identified, possibly associated with standing water or water borne deposits. Evidence of possible ridge and furrow survived to the west of the site. In light of the proximity of the Bosworth Battlefield, a systematic metal detector survey was undertaken across the area, and on any top and subsoils excavated, but yielded no significant finds. The central development area was subject to significant modern ground consolidation and dumping of building rubbish. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire County Museums under accession number XA53.2020. |
