| Popis: | Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 50, 46-48 Smeeton Westerby lies 9� miles (15 km.) SE of Leicester. The SW corner of the parish is occupied by Smeeton Hill which rises to a height of 500 ft. (150 m.). The top of the hill, which is of gravelly boulder clay overlying silty light brown micaceous clay of the middle lias, consists of a plateau. The modern farm lies on the east side of this plateau and on the west was discovered the Beaker burial (SP 671912). No trace of a burial mound is visible on the ground, but the situation would be ideal for one. No previous archaeological discoveries are known from this area. |
