Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken on land at the former Shangton CARE village, Melton Road, Shangton, Leicestershire on the 8th and 9th of May 2018 by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The site lies close to the former medieval village core of Shangton and is also close to the Gartree Road which follows the line of the former Roman road. The surrounding fields contain remnants of medieval ridge and furrow. Therefore the Leicestershire County Council Senior Planning Archaeologist, as advisor to the local planning authority, requested that a staged programme of archaeological investigation take place to identify, locate and record any archaeological remains that may be affected by the development. Eleven trenches of varying length evaluation trenches were excavated across the site none of which revealed any evidence of archaeological features or deposits. |
