Abstract: |
MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) conducted an archaeological desk-based heritage assessment of land at Rushes Lane, Lubenham, Leicestershire. The site lies at the southern end of Lubenham and occupies a field between Lubenham Conservation Area and the River Welland. Two Scheduled Monuments; Thorpe Lubenham moate site and shifted medieval village and Old Hall moated site and twelve Listed Buildings lie within 500m of the proposed development. No prehistoric remains are known from the vicinity of the site and limited Roman evidence has been found locally. The site lies within the medieval landscape of Lubenham, between the shifted medieval village to the south and the later medieval village. Ridge and furrow survives on the site and around the periphery of the village. A Visual Impact Assessment was conducted for the site, which concluded that measures can be taken to reduce the impacts of the proposed development upon nearby designated heritage assets. Cartographic evidence suggests that the site has remained within open farmland throughout the post-medieval period and a building stood at its north-east corner during the early 19th century. |
