Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken on land north of Rothley, Leicestershire. The works were carried out following the requirement as a condition on planning consent granted to William Davis. The works follow a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey which suggested that there was the potential for uncovering prehistoric remains and a medieval open field system. A total of 16 trenches across arable and pasture land were excavated and identified remnants of three fields or furlongs defined by ridge and furrow. This is thought to be of later medieval or post -medieval date. A segment of a post-medieval ditch was also found in the western part of the site, corresponding with a boundary on a historic map. |
