Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaker on land adjacent to Warren Lane, Lockington, Leicestershire by ULAS in March and April 2008. The work was commissioned by Lafarge Aggregates. A total of 38 trenched were excavated across four fields, in order to assess to potential survival of archaeological deposits. The area is primarily situated on a gravel terrace with a number of palaeochannels cutting through. Potential features were identified by remote sensing techniques, and trenches were placed accordingly. The northernmost field (field 1) was found to contain several features of archaeological potential, including a linear feature that contained two sherds of Neolithi pottery. No dating evidence was recovered from other fields, although several features of possible archaeological interest were recorded, along with a number of palaeochannels. Although the trenching yielded little archeological material overall, it is apparent that Field 1 has some potential for archaeological survival despite the obvious truncation of the features found. |
