Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during groundwork associated with the installation of a wind turbine on agricultural land at Hall Farm, Brentingby, Leicestershire (SK 779 189). The work was carried out on behalf of I.F Hawley and involved archaeological attendance for inspection and recording during these ground works. There were two aspects to the monitoring. The first was to monitor the preparation of the area for the siting of the base of the turbine. This involved supervision and inspection of topsoil removal and ground reduction by mechanical excavator for any indication of archaeological features. The second aspect was to monitor the excavation of trenches designed to accommodate a cable running between the turbine and the farm. Field 0003, the site of the turbine, was one of a number of open fields to the north-west of the farm displaying pronounced ridge and furrow. No archaeological features were identified in either phase of work. |
