Abstract: |
Further Magnetic Susceptibility and fieldwalking surveys were carried out by ULAS in December 2003 at Hallam Fields, Wanlip, Leicester, on behalf of GVA Grimley and Jelson Homes, targeting areas not available during the previous survey. Areas of enhanced magnetic susceptibility were noted, some of which could indicate areas of possible archaeological activity. The fieldwalking survey revealed a medium density scatter of flint across the site, with small concentrations of flint tools and debitage in the north-centre of field 2, and in the southeast corner of field 7 which could indicate areas of archaeological activity. In addition to this a low level of medieval and post-medieval pottery were recovered. |
