Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land west of Coventry Road, Lutterworth, Leicestershire (SP 5285 8445) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 22-25 August, 2016. Work was undertaken for CgMs Ltd. in order to establish the nature, extent, date and significance of any archaeological deposits which may be present, in order that an assessment may be made of the impact of any proposed development on the buried remains. The area of work was divided into two fields under arable cultivation on the west to north-westerly facing slope of a shallow valley on the western side of Lutterworth. Seventeen 50m by 2m trenches were excavated to achieve a c.1% sample of the 14.1 ha area. Trenches were positioned to allow examination of the entire site and to investigate assorted geophysical anomalies. Overall, the evaluation has produced evidence for medieval and post-medieval agrarian farming practices, namely ridge-and-furrow of medieval and/or early post-medieval date, and ceramic and plastic field drains of early-modern/modern date. No other archaeological features or deposits were recorded. The archive will be held by Leicestershire Museum Service under the accession number X.A62.2016. |
