Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation undertaken on land off Dingley Road, Great Bowden, Leicestershire. The project was commissioned by The Symington Partnership in order to provide information on the archaeological impact of proposed development at the site to support a planning application to be submitted to the Local Planning Authority. The site is located immediately beyond the eastern outskirts of the village, just 150m east of the historic core as defined by the parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul. Prior to the trial trenching described in this report an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and earthwork survey of the site have been undertaken. These demonstrated that earthworks of probable medieval date are located on the eastern part of the site and that the site lies in an archaeologically sensitive area with known sites of Roman, late Saxon and early medieval date. The earliest pottery identified during the investigations dates to the late Iron Age, although it is uncertain whether any of the features on the site date to this period. Saxo-Norman, early medieval and medieval finds were recovered but mainly from within features also containing post medieval artefacts, the latter concentrating within the 16th and 17th centuries. Most of the features recorded comprised ditches and many of these followed similar alignments to the linear hollows recorded within the area of earthworks to the east of the area of investigation. |
