Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on land at 7 King Street, Sileby, Leicestershire (NGR: SK 460107 315242). The work was undertaken as a condition of planning permission for a housing development.Two 15m long evaluation trenches were excavated across the site, with the trenches targeting the two proposed building footprints. Trench 1 featured a single substantial Late Roman ditch, representing the first evidence of Roman activity from Sileby. The remainder of the trench had been heavily disturbed by 19th or 20th pitting. Trench 2 revealed the brick foundations of the now-demolished structure formerly linking two standing 18th/19th century farm buildings, in addition to an undated ditch and two truncated pits or scoops. |
