Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2016 at land west of Heather Lane, Ravenstone, Coalville, Leicestershire. The fieldwork was undertaken to fulfil a planning condition attached to planning consent for the erection of a 500 KW wind turbine and associated infrastructure. The evaluation comprised the excavation of four trenches. The Leicestershire Historic Environment Record records no known archaeological remains within or immediately adjacent to the site, although prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval sites are recorded in the wider vicinity. Archaeological interest in the site is derived from the presence of undated cropmarks identified through aerial photographic analysis located within the central area of the site. The evaluation identified three undated, but probable post-medieval/early modern ditches. They fit within the general alignment identified within the surrounding field systems and depicted on historic and current Ordnance Survey mapping. The ditches are likely to represent boundary and/or drainage features. |
