Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of William Davis Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land off Bill Crane Way, Lutterworth, Leicestershire (hereafter 'the Site'). Planning permission has been granted for the residential development of the Site (Harborough District Council planning ref. 11/00117/OUT). The planning application was supported by an archaeological desk-based assessment, a geophysical survey and a trail trenching evaluation. Condition 15 of the consent required further archaeological works, including a second phase of trial tenching, to inform any mitigation requirements. The evaluation revealed the remains of east to west aligned 'ridge and furrow' agriculture in eight of the ten trenches, but no other archaeological deposits or features. The two empty trenches perhaps lay too close to a stream to be suitable for ploughing; one contained a possible alluvial deposit indicative of flooding. The majority of the trenches contained east to west aligned furrows but of slightly differing character. It is suggested that the wider spaced furrows in the western half of the Site are earlier in origin than the narrower ones in the eastern half. No other archaeological features or deposits were identified in any of the trenches. Potential features identified as geophysical anomalies were caused by changes in the character of the natural substrate |
