Abstract:
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological evaluation for land next to 'High Winds', Lower Moor Road, Coleorton, Leicestershire, LE67 8FL (SK 40199 17499). This was commissioned by Harrington Building and Construction Limited. The archaeological work was carried out from the 3rd - 5th December 2018, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, Section 12: Conserving and Enhancing the historic Environment. Six 20m trenches were excavated to evaluate the land as a condition of the planning permission for future residential development on the site (16/00352/FUL). Evidence for pre-19th century mining activity, including possible bell pits, and surface extraction pits were found in all of the trenches. Given the uneven earthworks across the rest of the field, these were probably widespread across the site. This is consistent with the Historic Environment Record data suggesting good potential for archaeological deposits relating to medieval and post-medieval mining activity in the area. The only dating evidence came from two sherds of Cistercian ware (dating to 1450-1650) from the upper part of one of the surface extraction pits. The archive and report will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums under accession number X.A129.2018.
