Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake a geophysical survey of land at Broom Leys Farm to the east of Coalville, Leicestershire. The site encompassed an area of approximately 14ha of which 7.76ha was surveyed. A number of positive anomalies were detected in the survey and mainly comprised the remains of ridge and furrow and land drains. A linear positive anomaly, probably a ditch, was recorded in field 5. The south-eastern extent of the area surveyed is likely to have been used as a dumping ground for excess material from coal extraction as indicated by the mixed readings in fields 5 and 6. |
