Abstract: |
Archaeological earthwork survey by assessment of LiDAR data and a trial trench evaluation was undertaken in September 2015 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Sandrion Ltd on land at Kates Hill, Rolleston Road, Billesdon, Leicestershire. The work was undertaken as part of a pre-planning enquiry in relation to proposals for the construction of a new residential development, and was carried out in order to assess the potential impact of the development on any archaeological remains that may be present. The trench evaluation did not identify any earthfast archaeological features. The frontage of the site had deep modern deposits surviving. The rest of the area was mostly under ridge and furrow earthworks. No artefacts were recovered during the works. The LiDAR assessment revealed some patterning to the ridge and furrow earthworks and gave indications on extent and survival, and possible remodelling. The extent of truncation of these field systems in the north was clarified, and some indications were made of other features to the immediate east of the proposed area. The site archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council under the accession number Accession Number X.A101.2015. |
