Abstract: |
Ninety one trenches were excavated targeting the Phase 1 residential areas, local centre and school together with nine balancing ponds, and the proposed bridge works access road to the east. The majority of the proposed area proved negative. However, in the central area of the proposed site prehistoric activity was identified, including two probable middle Bronze Age cremations in urns along with further undated features, and there was also some Iron Age material in the vicinity. A few other features of probable natural or modern origin were also identified. Occasional residual flint finds were recovered from the ploughsoil. The flint artefacts were predominantly of Neolithic-Bronze Age date, although one piece is probably Lower Palaeolithic. A few sherds of Roman pottery were also recovered, perhaps indicating ploughed out features south of the Old House. |

An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at New Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire (SK 531 017). The work was in advance of a proposed mixed use development. Ninety one trenches were excavated targeting the Phase 1 residential areas, local centre and school together with nine balancing ponds, and the proposed bridge works access road to the east. The majority of the proposed area proved negative.
