Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land off Ingarsby Lane, Houghton on the Hill, Leicestershire NGR SK 67885 04469. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting in advance of the development of the site for a 2.1MW solar array and related infrastructure. A Geophysical survey has been undertaken (Richardson 2015) which has located anomalies most likely relating to Post Medieval ridge and furrow ploughing, field boundaries and modern underground services. A small number of archaeological anomalies have been detected although it is not possible to determine their origin with any degree of confidence. Sixteen trenches were excavated across the area of proposed development with positive results in five of the sixteen trenches. Features included gullies and ditches, along with a single inhumation burial within trench 5. |
