Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out. The assessment indicated that the site might be close to the Roman road Icknield Street. Roman coins and kilns had been found in the vicinity and Romano-British settlement was expected. Remains of 18th century industrial activity had also been recorded immediately to the south of the site. Industrial features of the post-medieval period might be expected. Cartographic evidence demonstrated that the site had not been subject to the 19th century and 20th century industrial development that surrounded it and had remained as open fields and playing fields from the late 18th century to the present. In view of this lack of development the potential for below ground archaeological deposits was high. [Au(adp)] |
