Abstract: |
Desk-based assessment of a proposed development site identified that it lay 20m to the east of a group of earthworks which may have represented medieval occupation. Although no traces of earthworks could be seen within the proposal site itself, it was considered possible that ploughing could have taken place in the recent past, which could have removed any visible remains. Aerial photographic evidence had suggested that a possible prehistoric ritual monument had lain to the north-east of the site. The Roman Fosse Way passed c. 1km to the west of the village of Elston, and Roman artefacts had been found in the vicinity. Place-name evidence idicated that the village had had Anglo-Saxon or earlier origins. The fabric of the parish church seemed to have been of 13th century date, and the remains of medieval ridge and furrow lay within the surrounding fields. An evaluation of the proposal site was later carried out. [AIP] |
