Abstract: |
August 2011 a survey of ridge and furrow earthworks was carried out in advance of proposed development at Carlton Park, Narborough, Leicestershire (NGR SP 53572 98320) by Souterrain Archaeological Services Limited. The survey was commissioned by MetroMOLA, on behalf of HurleyPalmerFlatt, for Santander PLC. The Study Area comprised part of a small enclosed field of probable mid-18th century date which contained the relict remains of medieval cultivation strips in low-relief, forming the terminus of a furlong field. The survey revealed two distinct phases of earthworks, whereby a system of narrow cultivation ridges had been later bundled together to form wider ridges. The results of the survey are depicted as a digital terrain model of the earthworks, a contour plan to show the topographical aspect of the Study Area, and a series of representative photographs. A detailed profile of the earthworks is contained in the digital archive. |
