Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Headland Archaeology during September and October 2015, at Land adjacent to Glebe Farm, Coventry Road, Lutterworth, where a total of 68 trenches were excavated. One Roman ditch, and three undated, but potentially related, linear features were identified on higher ground in the north of the site. Deep alluvial deposits were identified adjacent to the line of an extant watercourse in the centre of the site. Areas of landfill were identified in the northern and eastern parts of the proposed development area. In the east of the site, landfill deposits measured up to 4.00m in depth. The depositional sequence suggested that truncation of the historical land surface had taken place prior to the deposition of landfill material. The potential for the site to contain further remains of archaeological significance is assessed as low. |
