Abstract: |
A Topographical survey of ridge and furrow earthworks and an Archaeological evaluation of the floodplain areas was carried out by ULAS at Sutton Farm, 177 Leicester Road, Sutton in the Elms, Broughton Astley, Leicestershire (SP 512 940 and SP 521 950) on the 6th February 2004 and from 16th-23rd May 2005 respectively. This work was in advance of the proposed groundworks across the site, and more specifically regarding the evaluation, in the floodplain of the River Soar in response to a Geophysical survey carried out by Stratascan Limited, which revealed a number of potential archaeological features within said areas. This work was carried out on behalf of Mr. K. Oldham. Trial trenching revealed few features of archaeological significance, but did discover some land clearance evidence that occurred some time in antiquity and a linear feature of unknown date. The topographical survey has added a detailed overview of the extant ridge and furrow within the development area. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council, Heritage Services Section, accession number X.A.126.2005. |
