Abstract:		 Planning permission (13/0335/1/PX) has been granted by Blaby District Council for the redevelopment and enlargement of the Cobleys Transport Depot at Broughton Road, Stoney Stanton to include new vehicular access, parking and associated landscaping. As the site is located in an area with the potential to contain heritage assets with archaeological interest, Leicestershire County Council Archaeologist advised that an archaeological trial trench evaluation be undertaken. The only sub-surface remains identified within the north-west field (trenches 1-21) were; the remains of strip field cultivation in the form of NW-SE aligned furrows and a small area of modern truncation. The modern rubble identified in trench 18 may represent the filling of a hollow either for landscaping and levelling of the field, or the disposal of modern material. Strip field cultivation is not uncommon in Leicestershire and indicates that this area was part of the open field system in the medieval period. The location and recognition of the open field system in Leicestershire contributes to our understanding of the landscape in the medieval period. Ridge and furrow earthworks are an important element in understanding the character of that landscape (Knight, Vyner and Allen, 2012, 104). However, the earthworks themselves are of limited archaeological significance. The area of the current transport depot (trenches 22 and 23) revealed modern material to a depth of c.0.8m, overlying undated alluvial deposits probably associated with the seasonal flooding of the field along the valley bottom. The results of the trial trenching suggest no remains of archaeological significance would be impacted by the proposed development.
