Quorn Walks – No.1 Buddon Brook and Swithland Reservoir
Quorn Walks Quorn Walks – No.1 Buddon Brook and Swithland Reservoir This is one of the set of six 9 km (5.5 miles) Pubs at start and end. Cafés on route at check points 3 and 4. Terrain: Start to Checkpoint 1 - Flat paved, Checkpoint 1 to 2 – Uneven, muddy during wet weather, Checkpoint 2 to 4 - Paved hilly. Checkpoint 4 to Finish - Flat paved, Bus stops: Regularly spaced along the route from start to Checkpoint 1 (No.154) and from Check point 4 to finish (No.127). Starting at Quorn Cross, the centre and main crossroads of the village, set off along Meeting Street. Beyond the award-winning Memorial Garden and the flood barrier to the left flows Buddon Brook, whose course we will be following all the way upstream to Swithland Reservoir. The many items of interest along Meeting Street and then Chaveney Road are explained in walk 5 in this series. In this case we walk about half a mile before turning left and joining the public right of way at the footpath sign just past Elms Drive (Checkpoint 1 on the map) Soon after turning left, we pass the site of the former Chaveney’s Water Mill (also called Quorn Water Mill, now Mill Farm). From the 16th to the 19th century, when Swithland Reservoir was built, a mill race from the brook was the motive power for this corn mill; the actual site of the old millwheel is not visible from the public footpath. Just after we enter the brookside path itself, you can see the remains of an ancient moated site beyond the far bank. -

ASHBY FOLVILLE to THURCASTON: the ARCHAEOLOGY of a LEICESTERSHIRE PIPELINE PART 2: IRON AGE and ROMAN SITES Richard Moore
230487 01c-001-062 18/10/09 09:14 Page 1 ASHBY FOLVILLE TO THURCASTON: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF A LEICESTERSHIRE PIPELINE PART 2: IRON AGE AND ROMAN SITES Richard Moore with specialist contributions from: Ruth Leary, Margaret Ward, Alan Vince, James Rackham, Maisie Taylor, Jennifer Wood, Rose Nicholson, Hilary Major and Peter Northover illustrations by: Dave Watt and Julian Sleap Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and early Anglo-Saxon remains were excavated and recorded during construction of the Ashby Folville to Thurcaston gas pipeline. The earlier prehistoric sites were described in the first part of this article; this part covers three sites with Roman remains, two of which also had evidence of Iron Age activity. These two sites, between Gaddesby and Queniborough, both had linear features and pits; the more westerly of the two also had evidence of a trackway and a single inhumation burial. The third site, between Rearsby and East Goscote, was particularly notable as it contained a 7m-deep stone-lined Roman well, which was fully excavated. INTRODUCTION Network Archaeology Limited carried out a staged programme of archaeological fieldwork between autumn 2004 and summer 2005 on the route of a new natural gas pipeline, constructed by Murphy Pipelines Ltd for National Grid. The 18-inch (450mm) diameter pipe connects above-ground installations at Ashby Folville (NGR 470311 312257) and Thurcaston (NGR 457917 310535). The topography and geology of the area and a description of the work undertaken were outlined in part 1 of this article (Moore 2008), which covered three sites with largely prehistoric remains, sites 10, 11 and 12. -

AH. lqAo FRON'i'ISPIECE FOREWORD OF the many interesting features which give the area known as Charnwood Forest its peculiar charm, its almost unique geological character has a notable place. Among the great variety of rocks forming the foundation of the Charnian landscape is the vein of workable slate which occurs in the volcanic rocks of the southern half of the Forest. These deposits of slates have been known for many centuries; there is a strong reason to believe that the Romans worked them, as they worked so many of our British minerals, while the size and depth of the quarries at Swithland give clear proof of the extent to which they have been worked in more recent times. The main seat of the slate industry was at Swithland, where, in the middle of that part of the wood which was purchased by the Leicester Rotary Club and entrusted to the Bradgate Park Trustees, there are two great hollows in the ground with vertical sides and half filled with water. It was mainly from these pits that the raw materials of the industry with which Mr. -
