SUMMARY

Project Name: Land near Wanlip, Leicestershire Location: Charnwood, Leicestershire NGR: SK 5785 1126 Type: Fieldwalking survey Date: 28 October to 1 November 2013 Location of Archive: Leicestershire Museums Service Accession No: X.A198.2013 Site Code: WAN 13

In October 2013, a fieldwalking survey was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology on farmland near Wanlip, in the Borough of Charnwood, Leicestershire. The survey, which was commissioned by Prospect Archaeology, covered three areas (45.1ha) to the west and north-west of the village. The survey had originally included a fourth area immediately to the west of the village, but this had to be omitted from the survey due to access restrictions.

The distribution of prehistoric worked or modified flint shows an apparent concentration in in the southern part of Area 1. However, the assemblage contains only one item, part of a Mesolithic or Early Neolithic blade, which can be dated with any certainty, so it is not clear if the material is associated with a relatively narrow period of activity on the site, perhaps dating to the Mesolithic or Early Neolithic periods, or is the result of accumulation over millennia in an area that was generally favourable for this activity.

The medieval and post-medieval material was probably introduced to the site through manuring or the opportunistic dumping of rubble around the edges of the fields. The greater incidence of post-medieval/modern material in the central and western part of Area 1 is probably accounted for by past activity along the railway line and around a 19th-century building near Bridle Road Spinney.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 In October 2013, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological fieldwalking survey on farmland near Wanlip, Charnwood, Leicestershire (site centred on NGR: SK 5785 1126; Fig. 1). The survey, which was commissioned by Prospect Archaeology, was intended to cover four areas (Areas 1-4) to the west and north-west of the village, but access issues precluded survey in the area nearest the village (Area 4).

1.2 The project was carried out in accordance with a method statement prepared by CA (2013) and the English Heritage procedural documents Management of Archaeological Projects 2 (EH 1991) and Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE): Project Manager’s Guide (EH 2006).

The site 1.3 The site, which in its entirety covers an area of c. 188ha, is situated to the west and north-west of the village of Wanlip, in the Borough of Charnwood, approximately 6.5km north of Leicester city centre (Fig. 1). Within the site, four areas were selected for fieldwalking survey (Areas 1-4; Fig. 2). Area 1, which was the largest area (40ha), was located at the western end of the site and comprised parts of eleven fields in the vicinity of Bridle Road Spinney. Areas 2 and 3 (3.5ha and 1.6ha respectively) comprised two fields situated between the A6 and a sewage plant on the edge of the floodplain of the River Soar. Area 4 (2.7ha) lay immediately to the west of Wanlip, but it was not possible to access this area at the time of the survey.

1.4 The geology of the site comprises Triassic rocks of the Edwalton Member, part of the Sidmouth Mudstone Formation, overlain by superficial Quaternary deposits of the Oadby Member (diamicton). In the eastern part of the site, in the area to the east of the A6, Pleistocene fluvial, lacustrine and organic deposits associated with the proto-River Bytham occur (Bytham Formation), along with Quaternary sands and gravels of the Birstall Member (BGS 2013).

Archaeological background 1.5 Reference to the Leicestershire Historic Environment Record (HER) shows that the site is located in an area of archaeological potential, with over forty records of sites dating from the Mesolithic to the modern periods within or close to the site.

1.6 Possibly the earliest evidence for human activity in the vicinity comprises twelve flint blades of Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date that have been found near the sewage works, approximately 100m to the north of Area 2 of the current survey (MLE 1100). In the central part of the site, scatters of Late Neolithic/Bronze Age flint (over two- hundred pieces) and sherds of probable Bronze Age pottery were recovered by a fieldwalking survey on farmland to the west of Wanlip Hill Farm in the mid 1980s (MLE 1094) and in the eastern part of the site, close to Areas 2 and 3 of the current survey, archaeological investigation identified two Neolithic or Bronze Age pits and other activity at Gravel Hole Spinney (MLE 9120). Scatters of flint of a comparable age have also been recovered by fieldwalking survey to the south-west of Wanlip, c. 300m from the site boundary (MLE1087) and a probable barrow has been identified from cropmarks in a field c. 150m north of the site, near Brookfield Farm, Rothley.

1.7 Archaeological investigations at Hallam Fields, immediately to the south of the A46, have identified a Middle to Late Iron Age enclosed settlement and field system (MLE 17179).

1.8 In the eastern part of the site, in the fields to the north of the A46, archaeological investigation identified a possible Roman corn drier and road surface and subsequent investigation in the area uncovered the remains of a small Roman settlement (MLE 9128). A Roman brooch was found at Hallam Fields, to the south of the A46 (MLE 9670) and further Roman remains, including a villa, are located to the north of the site, near Rothley.

1.9 The village of Wanlip is thought to have originated during the Anglo-Saxon period and evidence for early Anglo-Saxon settlement has been located to the north of the village, near the sewage works. This comprised four possible sunken-featured buildings, from which were recovered three loomweights and a quantity of pottery and animal bone (MLE 9123). Saxon pottery has also been recovered from Hallam Fields (MLE 6124) and a large rectangular pit filled with burnt stones, revealed during work on a pipeline at the western edge of the site, close to Fox Covert,

parallels a similar feature investigated at the Saxon cemetery at Cossington (Moore 2008).

1.10 In the medieval period the site was largely agricultural land surrounding the villages of Wanlip and Thurcaston.

1.11 On the south-west side of the junction between the A6 and A46 is the site of a now- demolished Cold War monitoring post, operated by the Royal Observer Corps.

Archaeological objectives 1.12 The objective of the fieldwalking survey, as stated in the method statement (CA 2013), was to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the survey site.

Methodology 1.13 Four areas were selected for the fieldwalking survey (Areas 1-4; Fig. 2), although only three were surveyed as one area (Area 4) was unsuitable for fieldwalking at the time of the survey.

1.14 Each of the individual fields within the three surveyed areas was numbered. A series of transects was then established within the survey fields using a Leica Smart Rover GPS. Transects were marked out on site using temporary markers, such as canes, flags or ranging rods, in accordance with CA ’s Technical Manual 4: Survey Manual (2012). Transects were generally aligned parallel to the longest boundaries of the individual fields being surveyed and were spaced at 20m intervals. Transects were related to the OS grid and were assigned alphanumeric identifiers (e.g. Transect 1A, Transect 1B, etc., in Field 1; Transect 2A, Transect 2B, etc., in Field 2; etc.).

1.15 The transect lengths were then walked by CA staff, observing 2m-wide corridors centred on each individual transect as a basis for artefact collection.

1.16 The length of each transect was subdivided into a series of 20m stints. Artefacts recovered from each individual stint were bagged together. Bags were marked with the CA site code, accession number, the area number, the alphanumeric transect number and the stint (e.g. WAN 13, X.A198.2013, Area 1, Transect 1A, 0–20m).

1.17 There was provision for artefacts considered by the survey team to be of special archaeological interest to be located individually using a Leica Smart Rover GPS, although in the event, no such artefacts were recovered. There was also provision for detailed fieldwalking at a greater resolution in areas where finds concentrations were noted. However, it was decided in the field that there was no need for such intensification of survey. All artefacts were collected, with the exception of any materials positively identified as modern. Any large concentrations of materials such as stone, slag and tile were sampled only .

1.18 For each field walked, details of land use/field conditions, ground visibility and fieldwalking personnel were recorded on pro-forma sheets.

2 SURVEY RESULTS

Introduction

2.1 The fieldwalking survey areas (Areas 1-3) had recently been ploughed and sown; the crops were emergent at the time of surveying but this did not hinder or impact on artefact surface collection. The weather conditions were generally conducive to fieldwalking, with overcast skies and occasional rain showers.

2.2 In Area 1, most of Field 3 and the entire area of Field 4 were planted with conifer saplings or covered with a thick blanket of weeds and Area 4 was inaccessible, so these areas were not surveyed.

2.3 The fieldwalking grids are shown in Figures 3 and 8, the distribution of recovered artefacts in Figures 5-7 and 11-13.

Area 1 (Fields 1 to 11) Prehistoric

2.4 There was an apparent concentration in the distribution of worked or modified flint in the southern part of Area 1, Field 1, which accounted for approximately 78% (by count) of the entire assemblage from the survey (Fig. 5). The assemblage included four flint cores, a fragment of a flint blade, a scraper and a scatter of debitage.

Medieval

2.5 Nine abraded sherds of medieval pottery, which were probably introduced to the site through manuring, were recovered from Fields 1, 2 and 5 (Fig. 6).

Post-medieval/modern

2.6 Sherds of post-medieval and modern pottery were recovered from all the fields in Area 1, although there was a slightly greater occurrence in Fields 1 and 7, adjacent to the railway track and close to the building in Field 3 (Fig. 6). In areas where there was a relatively high occurrence of post-medieval and modern pottery, small quantities of ceramic building material of the same date was recovered, suggesting that most of the pottery that was not introduced by manuring was probably dumped with small quantities of building rubble at the edges of fields.

2.7 A small quantity of slag (83g) was recovered from the western corner of Field 1, adjacent to the railway line.

Areas 2 and 3 (Fields 12 and 13)

Prehistoric 2.8 Three pieces of flint debitage were recovered as random scatter from Areas 2 and 3 (Fig. 11).

Medieval 2.9 Two abraded sherds of medieval pottery, which were probably introduced to the site through manuring, were recovered from the south-east corner of Area 2 (Fig. 12).

Post-medieval/modern 2.10 There was a relatively random background scatter of post-medieval and modern pottery in both areas, with a slightly greater concentration close to the track on the eastern edge of the area and towards the village of Wanlip (Fig. 12). There was also a small quantity of post-medieval brick and tile in the areas where there was a higher incidence of pottery (Fig. 13), suggesting that much of the pottery had been casually dumped with discarded building rubble around the most easily accessible parts of both fields.

The finds by Jacky Sommerville

2.11 Finds recovered from fieldwalking comprise pottery, ceramic building material, glass, clay tobacco pipe, worked flint and worked stone (Appendix A, Table 1).

Prehistoric (worked flint) 2.12 Twenty-four items of modified flint were recovered, comprising one piece of burnt, unworked flint and 23 worked items. The latter included cores, flakes, shatter, a retouched flake, a notched piece and one broken blade. The only flint which can be dated more precisely than to the prehistoric period is the blade, which is a Mesolithic or Early Neolithic item. Eighteen of the 23 worked flints were recovered from Field 1, where the majority formed two loose clusters: a cluster of four cores and three pieces of débitage in the south-west area of the field; and a cluster of five items of débitage in the north-west area of the field. Although not a large group and lacking in dateable items, the lithics exhibit a marked spatial tendency within field 1 which is likely to be reflective of earlier prehistoric activity of some form.

Medieval pottery 2.13 Eleven bodysherds of medieval pottery were recovered. These included three sherds in a glazed jug fabric dateable in the 13th–14th centuries range. The remainder comprised eight sherds of gritty, unglazed coarsewares, broadly dateable across the 12th–14/15th centuries. The medieval pottery was found across four fields, including three recovered from Field 2 and five from Field 1: the majority from Field 1 were in the south-west portion of the field.

Post-medieval/modern pottery 2.14 Pottery of post-medieval or modern date formed the largest group of finds recovered, amounting to 313 sherds. The majority of sherds were in glazed earthenwares of the kind in common use across the 17th to 18th/earlier 19th centuries. Also present were included were Midlands Purple ware, Westerwald stoneware, English stoneware, Staffordshire brown mottled ware, creamware and transfer-printed refined whiteware. Midlands Purple is a ‘proto-stoneware’ which dates to the late–14th to mid-16th centuries in Leicestershire. The other fabrics represented date to the 16th to 19th centuries (Davies and Sawday 1999, 166). The post-medieval/modern pottery was recovered from all 11 of the fields which were walked, forming a general scatter. However, concentrations were also noted in Fields 3 and 7, the northern half of Field 2 and the southern half of Field 1.

Ceramic building material 2.15 Thirty-four fragments of ceramic building material were recovered: all of the dateable pieces were post-medieval or later. Identifiable fragments included post- medieval nib tile and modern drainpipe. Fragments were recovered from eight of the eleven walked fields, with concentrations in Field 3 and at the south-west extent of Field 1.

Other finds 2.16 Nine fragments of clay tobacco pipe were recovered. This comprised eight pieces of stem and one bowl/stem fragment. The bowl featured vertical rib decoration. Clay tobacco pipe dates to the late-16th to late-19th centuries and the decorated versions tend to be 19th-century in date.

2.17 Twenty-four fragments of post-medieval/modern glass were recovered. These consisted of one window fragment, eleven bottle fragments, nine other vessel fragments and three unidentifiable chips.

2.18 Seventeen fragments of worked stone/building stone were recovered, which included nine pieces of slate, one of which featured a nail hole. Most or all of this material can be expected to date to the post-medieval/modern periods.

3. DISCUSSION

3.1 The fieldwalking survey, which was carried out over a period of four days with generally good weather and light conditions, recovered a small assemblage of worked or modified prehistoric flint, medieval pottery and post-medieval/modern pottery, clay pipe, roof tile and brick. Due to access restrictions, one of the four proposed survey areas (Area 4) could not be fieldwalked at the time of the survey.

3.2 The distribution of prehistoric worked or modified flint shows an apparent concentration in Field 1, in the southern part of Area 1. However, the assemblage contains only one item, part of a Mesolithic or Early Neolithic blade, which can be dated with any certainty, so it is not clear if the material is associated with a relatively narrow period of activity on the site, perhaps dating to the Mesolithic or Early Neolithic periods, or is the result of accumulation over millennia in an area that was generally favourable for this activity.

3.3 The medieval and post-medieval material was probably introduced to the site through manuring or the opportunistic dumping of rubble around the edges of the fields. The greater incidence of post-medieval/modern material in Fields 1, 3 and 7 is probably accounted for by past activity along the railway line and around a 19th- century building near Bridle Road Spinney.
