Abstract: |
This evaluation forms part of an archaeological assessment of the Site along with a previous archaeological desk-based assessment (WA 2015) and a geophysical survey (Eden Mapping 2015), which were aimed at providing archaeological information to aid the planning process. The Site is to be developed as a 3.04 MW solar farm with associated infrastructure and currently comprises of a single field under arable cultivation. The evaluation was under taken between 7th September 2015 and 11th September 2015 and consisted of the excavation of twentry-four trenches, each measuring 30m x 1.8m that revealed multi-phased features of archaeological interest. The possibility of the presence of prehistoric field systems was recorded within the southern extent of the Site, along with a number of furrows on differing alignments implying the medieval and early post-medieval use of the Site as part of an arable open field system. The evaluation has assessed the archaeological potential of land proposed for development. The results from this work will be used to aid and inform the Archaeological Officer at Leicestershire County Council of any further archaeological mitigation measures that may be necessary in connection with the development proposals. |
