An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken by Witham Archaeology on land to the north of Nether Hall, Hamilton Lane, Scraptoft, Leicestershire. The project was commissioned to comply with a condition of planning permission relating to the proposed construction of a new dwelling. The site was considered to have potential to hold surviving archaeological remains partly on account of its location at the periphery of the historic core of the village. In addition, previous archaeological work in the surrounding area had revealed finds of Prehistoric, Roman and Anglo-Saxon date. No deposits or features of archaeological significance were revealed by the trial trenching. Sherds of Post-medieval pottery and fragments of brick or tile were recovered from the topsoil. |
