Abstract: |
AB Heritage Limited were commissioned to produce an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment for a proposed development at Uppingham Road, Billesdon, Leicestershire. Given the presence of ridge and furrow and settlement enclosure earthworks on the site, there is concluded to be no potential for the recovery of complex / significant archaeological remains postdating the medieval agricultural and settlement use of these fields. However, there is a potential for the recovery of material pre-dating such activity. Based on the recorded Roman and Medieval activity in the wider area of the site, it is concluded there is a medium potential for buried archaeological features of Roman date and a high potential for the survival of Medieval buried archaeological features to survive within the limits of proposed development. The known heritage features on the site are considered to be of regional importance and the predicted impact of the proposed development is considered to be high. Therefore, the significance of the effects upon the known heritage resource within the bounds of the proposed development site is considered to be major. |
