| Popis: | Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 82, 1-38 Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and early Anglo-Saxon remains were excavated and recorded during construction of the Ashby Folville to Thurcaston gas pipeline. The results from three sites are reported here: sites 10, 11 and 12, which had significant prehistoric remains. Results from the Late Iron Age and Roman sites will be described in part 2, to be published in 2009. Site 10, near Ratcliffe on the Wreake, included two small pits with a significant assemblage of Neolithic pottery, a Bronze Age ditch and a group of intercutting pits and gullies which produced both Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon pottery. Among many undated features, an array of postholes is possibly the remnant of a small post-built structure. At site 11, on the ridge of high ground to the north of Ratcliffe village, the pipeline route intersected part of a system of ditch-defined Bronze Age and Iron Age enclosures. A roundhouse ring gully at site 12, east of Cossington, may date from the Bronze Age. |
