Archaeological attendance during groundworks at St John the Baptist Church, Whitwick, Leicestershire
Exploratory groundworks to inspect the foundations of the south porch of St. John the Baptist Church, Whitwick, Leicestershire were monitored by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on 6th October 2016 on behalf of Whitwick PCC. Two small trenches were hand excavated to a depth where the foundations were visible, the removed soil was inspected but no archaeological finds were present. The base and sides of the trenches were inspected but revealed no archaeological features or deposits other than the foundations. It was commented on at the time of excavation that the ground around the porch had been previously disturbed, but there was no record of when this may have occurred. A record of the archaeological attendance will be transferred to the Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under the Accession No. X.A114.2016.
