Abstract: |
This report details the results of an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation that was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at The Old Hall, Church Lane, Old Dalby, Leicestershire. The survey was carried out on the 12th of May 2021on behalf of Philippa Gregory in advance of the construction of an open-air swimming pool.
The site consists of the Grade II listed early 19th century Hall with a garden area around it. The proposed swimming pool will be to the south-west of the main hall building on an area recently occupied by a landscaped terraced garden. Excavation within the stripped footprint of the swimming pool revealed mixed and redeposited material between 0.58 and 0.75m in thickness extending down to the natural substratum. Late 19th and 20th century ceramic materials were recovered throughout the mixed deposit. Two 19th century land drains were also recorded at the interface with the natural.
No archaeological features or deposits were encountered within the area of the proposed swimming pool. |
