Abstract:
This document is a fieldwork report for an archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Hallaton Grange, Hallaton, Leicestershire (NGR: SP 478730 296511) in advance of the construction of a new access road to the site including passing places, a turning circle and a parking bay. The development site consists of a large garden at the back of a grade II listed building near the church in the village of Hallaton. The wall that surrounds the garden to the north is also grade II listed and contains a blocked up access entrance to the site of the possible former manor house. Hallaton village lies eight miles north-east of Market Harborough and the site itself lies within the conservation area and historic core to the south-west of the village. Five trenches were placed across the two halves of the garden roughly following the proposed line of the access road and turning circle. There was evidence in most trenches of ground disturbance including buried soils of 18th/19th century date and deposition of made ground as the garden was levelled at various times. Two undated postholes and a pit were identified, as well as two sections of possible trackway in two trenches, with phases of construction of medieval and post-medieval date. This trackway may represent the surviving evidence of an earlier access to the existing, or previous house. Medieval and post-medieval pottery, animal bone and metal work was recovered from the trenches, the earliest, 12th-13th century pottery was found at the lowest level of the trackway, suggesting an early date for activity in this area of the village
