Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd conducted an archaeological excavation on Land south of the A4303, formerly the site of Glebe Farm, Lutterworth, Leicestershire, between February and March 2020 on behalf of Gazeley (UK) Ltd, though Environmental Dimension Partnership (EDP). The excavation over an area of 0.64ha revealed evidence for a Roman period enclosed farmstead comprising a timber-built structure, identified by substantial post-holes, along with associated land division, field, and drainage ditches. The farmstead seems to date primarily to the early to mid-Roman period, though occupation may have commenced in the late Iron Age, possibly in the form of two truncated curvilinear drainage ditches, likely to be associated with former structural remains. Undated ditches and discrete features were also recorded together with a post-medieval ridge and furrow field system. |
