Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching and earthwork assessment by LiDAR analysis was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at New Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire (SK 531 017), during December 2015, being part of a staged project to assess the impact on potential heritage assets from the New Lubbesthorpe development. The work was in advance of a proposed mixed use development. During this phase, 45 trenches were excavated targeting residential and infrastructure areas in the north of the proposed scheme. The majority of the proposed area proved negative during the current phase of works. Follow up trenching near Old Warren Farm and Hatt Spinney around two areas of prehistoric activity identified previously did not identify any further features. However in the west of the proposed site near to Beggars Lane a small amount of worked flint was recovered from stratified deposits, and evidence for burning was identified in the form of charcoal. Several linear features of uncertain date were also identified in the west area. As part of the assessment analysis of aerial LiDAR survey was undertaken over an area of known earthwork interpreted as a medieval fishpond. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number XA112.2011. |
