Abstract: |
A scheme of archaeological evaluation trenching took place in advance of a proposed commercial development on farmland at Battleflat Lodge Farm, in the parish of Stanton-under-Bardon in Leicestershire. The evaluation forms part of a programme of archaeological investigations; following a desk-based assessment, which indicated the archaeological potential of the site to be low. Joint geophysical, metal-detecting and fieldwalking surveys suggested the site is unlikely to have been occupied or cultivated until the 18th century, but an intrusive evaluation programme was required to confirm this hypothesis; representing a 2% sample of the area to be developed. Archaeological remains were encountered in only thirteen (11.7%) of the 129 trenches investigated. Many of the features encountered were small and poorly defined, and may therefore have been of natural origin. The most convincing archaeological features were exposed in trenches surrounding the farm; for example two large pits in Trenches 80 and 119. |
