Abstract: |
MOLA was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out archaeological trial trenching on land south of Three Pots Road, Burbage, Leicestershire prior to proposed residential development on the site. Seven trenches were excavated. Evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation was present in the southern field though no dating material was found to suggest either a medieval or post-medieval date. An early example of a hand-made hollow-brick field drain, dated to the early 19th century, was present following the line of one of the furrows in the southern field, other more recent field drainage was also present in the southern field. No other features of archaeological interest were present on-site. |
