Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Jelson Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of Lower Grange Farm, Markfield, Leicestershire in advance of the construction of a new residential development. The proposed development area had been identified as being an area of archaeological potential. A total of 12 evaluation trenches were machine excavated and recorded. None revealed any evidence of archaeological significance. It is possible that the wooded nature of this part of Leicestershire meant the proposed development area remained wooded up until comparatively recently and therefore no significant occupation, of any period occurred until the land was deforested and enclosed during the 18th and 19th centuries. The archive for the archaeological work will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the accession number X.A7.2011. |
