Abstract: |
A field evaluation and building survey was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Manor Farm, Drayton on behalf of Mr. R. Davies in advance of proposed residential development. The study area was a working farm and farm buildings and areas of hard standing restricted access. A total of six evaluation trenches were placed around the farm on more accessible areas. The photographic survey was carried out on six stone buildings that may be converted and a further stone cart shed, which may be demolished. The evaluation revealed some archaeological features, including evidence for medieval field systems and a hedge line, which was visible on a 19th century map of the area. Isolated and undated pits were also discovered along with a linear feature of unknown date and unknown function. The site archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council, Heritage Services with accession number X.A37.2006. |
