Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at the inclined plane at Foxton Locks, Leicestershire (SP 69230 89590) during the excavation of trenches associated with a new system of badger proof fencing. Part of the trench was to be excavated close to the abutment wall of the dry upper arm of the incline plane, a scheduled monument (SM No. 30248). The trench was excavated of sufficient distance from the wall to minimise the likely disturbance of any underlying foundations or archaeology. Two small sections of iron, which may have originally formed part of the structure of the plane, were discovered close to the abutment wall. The excavations also yielded some information on the nature of the construction of the inclined plane. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council, Heritage Services with accession number X.A82.2006.
