Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by fieldwalking survey was carried out by ULAS for MIRA in March 2011 on land at Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire SP 368 957, in advance of proposed development. The survey identified no convincing concentrations of material which might indicate archaeological sites. The lithics scatter is sparse enough to be a background scatter and the amount of medieval /late medieval pieces is small enough to be explained as manuring scatters from nearby settlements, although there is a slight concentration in the north of the large field adjacent to the present buildings complex. The total lack of Romano-British material is slightly unexpected, given the known Roman presence in the area. A caveat is that conditions were far from ideal given the advanced stage of the crops, especially in the two northern fields, although any major concentrations should have been picked up by the survey. |
