Abstract: |
Scheduled Monument Consent was granted for the dredging of the south-eastern arm of the moat in the north corner of the medieval leper colony. This was monitored by the authors for LMAST. The dredging itself brought to light just two fragments of dressed masonry, but stone alignments were recorded immediately south-west of the moat. To the north, and continuing the line of the north-west edge of the dredged arm, a wall some 900mm thick with a rubble core faced with dressed ironstone was traced for 3.5m. A second masonry feature lies above the extension to the moat on its south-west corner that provides a ramp into the water. A line of five roughly dressed ironstone and limestone blocks runs south-west to north-east, a minimum of two courses in height. This turns north-west for at least 2.5m, parallel to the moat's west end, and may form a foundation or revetment. Both masonry features are partly exposed where cattle and other traffic have worn away the turf. Hartley records building foundations in the general area (ibid., Fig.13, f). A photographic record was made for English Heritage, and the Site Archive is held by LM under Leics. SMR Ref.no.71NE.AD. The smaller of the two dressed stones, a fragment of chamfered shelly limestone, is held by LM.BibliographyHartley, R.F., 1987 The Medieval Earthworks of North East Leicestershire Leicester: Leicestershire Museums, Arts and Records Service.
