Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2010 on land at M1 Junction 21a, Glenfield and Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire, eleven trenches were excavated. An undated ditch was identified in Trench 2. A further undated ditch, probably representing a field boundary, was identified in Trench 4. Evidence of medieval and/or post-medieval agricultural practice, comprising a series of furrows, was identified in the majority of the remaining excavated trenches in the north-eastern part of the site. Geophysical anomalies targeted by Trenches 3, 7 and 11 were demonstrated to be of modern origin. Evidence of modern ground make-up/landscaping was identified in Trenches 4 and 5. |
