Abstract: |
A scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during development groundworks associated with the construction of six new dwellings on land formerly occupied by nos. 37 and 39, Snells Nook Lane, in the village of Nanpantan in the Charnwood district of Leicestershire. The route of the Charnwood Forest Canal, constructed at the end of the 18th century but already out of use by the early 19th, runs across the east end of the development site. A targeted programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was therefore required as a condition of planning permission for the development. The canal was identified during the first day of the monitoring programme as a broad, shallow, irregular linear depression under a deep layer of naturally accumulated topsoil: it is shown on historic mapping to have lain open as a dry earthwork feature for many years after it went out of use. An upper fill of mixed material containing modern refuse was probably deliberately infilled as ground levelling when nos. 37 and 39 were built in the mid-20th century. The monitoring programme was discontinued after the first day, in agreement with the consultant, as its objectives had been fully achieved and no additional results were expected. |
