Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and strip plan and sample excavation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Church Farm, Wilkinson Lane, Elmesthorpe, Leicestershire (SP 460 965) during a series of ground-works associated with a new development at the property, which included the conversion and extension of existing farm buildings, some of which date to the 19th century. The proposed development also included the construction of a new equestrian manège and various new services. The ground-works on the old barns revealed no earlier structures, phases or deposits. The manège area and much of the ground-works nearby revealed no earlier structures apart from the concrete stanchions of a Dutch barn, an old slurry pit and various areas of debris. The ground-works to the south of the central range revealed the brick foundations of a building, which was still extant at the end of the 20th century (as shown on aerial photographs and maps of the area) and was likely to be at least 19th century in date as it is likely to be part of a structure shown on the 1852 tithe map of the area. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A85.2012. |
