Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by George Wimpey East Midlands Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land off Wysall Lane, Wymeswold, and outline planning permission had benn granted for the building of 64 resedential dwellings. An archaeological desk-based assessment had identified the area as having high archaeological potential. In all 18 evaluation trenches were excavated across the proposed development area approximately 1020sq in size. The southern trenches included a considerable build up of colluvial deposits which could be masking other archaeological features. A number of standing earthworks were recorded within the proposed development area, including ridge and furrow and a possible trackway. |
