Abstract: |
An archaeological inspection and recording exercise (watching brief) was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Hall Farm, Swepstone Road, Heather, Leicestershire. The work took place on the 21st and 23rd of November 2011during the excavation of a cable trench connecting a domestic wind turbine to the farm complex. The 0.36m wide by 1m deep cable trench ran for approximately 340m from the site of the proposed turbine to the farm. The pasture land through which the cable trench cuts has a number of rectangular earthworks and probable prehistoric cropmarks located in nearby fields. Topsoil and subsoil were removed to reveal a natural substratum of mid orange brown clayey sand with frequent small stones within it. No archaeological features or deposits were observed during the watching brief. The fieldwork was carried out by A.R.Hyam. The archive will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums Service under Accession Number X.A.170.2011 |
