Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching at Loddington Hall, Main Street, Loddington, Leicestershire (SK 789 023). The evaluation follows on from the desk-based assessment (Hunt 2001), which showed that there was the potential for medieval remains to be present within the application site. A total of four trenches were placed across the site, currently an orchard, in the footprints of four proposed buildings. These revealed a number of linear features, post-holes and pits and two areas of stonework that may be evidence of buildings or other structures. A number of finds were recovered from the topsoil and from features. These covered a range of material from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods, but the dating evidence would largely suggest occupation and possible industrial activity from the Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods. The archive for this project will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council with accession number X.A67.2008. |
