Abstract: |
MOLA Northampton was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of Pegasus Planning, to carry out archaeological trial trenching on land south of Newton Lane, Wigston Harcourt prior to proposed development. Eighty-two trenches were excavated. A prehistoric pit with Beaker pottery and an undated shallow gully were observed along with extensive medieval-post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation. Made ground disturbance in the northern area probably relates to past farm works and made ground disturbance in the southern area relates directly to post medieval-early modern limestone quarrying in the area. |
