Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Mrs S. Voce to undertake an archaeological evaluation of Manor Farm, Little Stretton, Leicestershire in advance of the construction of a new residential unit. The proposed development area had been identified as being an area of archaeological potential, being located within the historic settlement core of the village. Two evaluation trenches were excavated within the proposed footprint of the new building to ascertain the likely extent of any potential archaeological remains. Tree stumps from the recently felled orchard dictated the location of the trenches. Limited archaeological remains dating to the early post medieval period, including a possible cobble path and a well were recorded; both features were isolated in the northernmost part of the trenches. A single undated linear was recorded towards the south eastern end of trench 2. The archive for the archaeological work will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the museums accession number X.A206.2010. |
