Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in October 2014 at Lutterworth Road, Lutterworth, Leicestershire, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of CgMs Consulting. The fieldwork was undertaken to inform the outline planning application for commercial development in order to assess its potential impact on any archaeological remains that might be present, following the findings of a desk-based assessment and fieldwalking. As anticipated, the archaeological evaluation at Lutterworth Road, Lutterworth, produced evidence for the medieval mill leat associated with the medieval St. John's Hospital to the west of the site in the form of several shallow parallel linear features. Post-medieval/modern dating evidence from these channels supports cartographic evidence for this feature continuing as an open water channel into the post-medieval modern period, with environmental evidence suggesting possible food preparation activity in the vicinity. There were no further indications of archaeological activity present on the site. As with most lithic scatters no earthfast features were present associated with the material recovered from the fieldwalking |
