Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Manor Farm, Arnesby Lane, Peatling Magna, Leicestershire (SP 59505 92549) in advance of the construction of a new development on the site, currently a pasture field. The site lies within the medieval and post-medieval settlement core of the village. It is also close to the Grade II listed Manor Farmhouse and Grade I listed All Saints' Church. It is also lies to the west of the remains of the medieval deserted settlement of Peatling Magna, which is early Anglo-Saxon in origin. Two evaluation trenches were placed across the footprints of the proposed new dwelling and associated car port to address the impact from the construction of the new development. Trench 01 was negative for archaeological features and contained a modern post-hole. However, Trench 02 contained three linear features, most likely ditches associated with enclosures or small garden plots. No dating evidence was recovered from the features. The archive for this project will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A2.2018. |
