Abstract:
An archaeological excavation was carried out on land at Strancliffe Hall, Cotes Road, Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The work was commissioned by The Environmental Dimension Partnership (EDP) on behalf of Barwood Homes Ltd in advance of the development of the site for new housing. Previous archaeological work on land to the north and east of the present site, by Northamptonshire Archaeology in 2006, revealed Iron Age activity plus a significant amount of limestone kilns, dating from the post-medieval period to the modern period. A previous archaeological evaluation on the present site carried out by ULAS in 2011 consisting of a geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation showed that there was significant potential for further lime kilns and other structures within the proposed development area. The current work revealed quarrying and landscaping activity and only four kilns could be identified including one which had been heavily truncated. Three of these kilns were excavated and were shown to be clamp kilns similar to those revealed during the previous archaeological work here and also identical to those revealed on a site to the south-east of Barrow in 2013 (Hunt 2013). No dating evidence was retrieved from two of the kilns, but the third was associated with a small pit, which contained 20th century pottery. The remains of a small building were also discovered during the excavation, but this too appeared modern in date.
