Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of the client at Launde Abbey, Launde, Leicestershire between the 1st and 5th of June 2017. Planning permission and Scheduled Monument Consent were sought for the installation of a free standing bronze statue on a concrete base in the front of the house at Launde Abbey. The Ha-ha and the area it encloses is part of a scheduled monument (SAM 137). The excavation of an exploratory 1m x 1m test pit in the Ha-ha area of the gardens was intended to provide preliminary indications of the character and extent of any heritage assets in order to assess the impact of the proposed installation on such remains and to inform a further phase of mitigation if required. The test pit revealed an infill layer of stone rubble, brick and soil below which was a possible wall on an east-west alignment located on the southern side of the pit. Late medieval and post medieval pottery and ridge tile was recovered along with animal bone, glass and metal. The archive will be deposited with the Historic and Natural Environment Team at Leicestershire County Council under Accession Number X.A69.2017. |
