Abstract: |
A programme of monitoring and recording was undertaken at Rectory Place, Old Parsonage Lane, Hoton, Leicestershire, during groundworks relating to the construction of a new office building. The site lies immediately south of probable medieval settlement remains indicated by earthwork tofts and crofts set within extant ridge and furrow. The new office building corresponds to the footprint of a group of farm buildings (demolished at some time after 1994) associated with nearby Peartree Farm and depicted in the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map of 1884. The northwest boundary of the site adjacent to Old Parsonage Lane is defined by the rear wall of the courtyard arrangement of farm buildings. The programme of monitoring and recording revealed a high level of disturbance associated with the farm buildings extending over the majority of the site. Less disturbed ground encountered on the northwest side of the site revealed a sequence of natural clay overlain by topsoil. There was no evidence of deposits relating to the nearby shrunken medieval settlement. |
