Abstract: |
An Archaeological Desk Assessment was undertaken in advance of proposed development on land off Mill Lane, Gilmorton, Leicestershire. The site is located on eastern edge of the village, approximately 300m east of the medieval parish church of All Saints. Cropmark ridge and furrow is recorded across the eastern half of the proposed development site, and it is possible that the western half of the site might have been used as a 'headland' used to turn the plough in the Medieval period. Buildings are recorded on old Ordnance Survey maps along the east side of Mill Lane. Aside from an extant cottage, no above-ground traces of these remain. Old photographs suggest that the demolished buildings included at least two pre-19th century thatched cottages. The mapped former buildings lie immediately to the west of the development area, largely being located outside it, although these may be located in the position of an access road and drive. |
