Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) prior to the construction of residential dwellings, access roads and car parking spaces. The desk-based assessment highlighted the potential for medieval, Roman and Anglo-Saxon remains within the proposed development area. No previous archaeological work had been undertaken on the site and no structures had been built on the site prior to 1986, where the land appears to have been a part of the medieval open field system of Melton Mowbray (Marsden and George 2003). The watching brief was largely negative, except for the evidence of ridge and furrow, known to have existed here in a south-west to north-east orientation. |
