Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology, commissioned by Geoff Pursglove of the Ashby Canal Restoration Project, on behalf of Leicestershire County Council, conducted geophysical prospection as part of the archaeological evaluation of a proposed canal route from Snarestone to Measham (Leicestershire). A total area of c 11ha, spread across four fields, was surveyed by fluxgate gradiometer. No major archaeological features were found in the four fields. A former canal turning basin was revealed by the survey. The survey also identified linear anomalies, some representing former field boundaries and remnant medieval ridge and furrow cultivation. |
