Land adjacent to Glebe Farm, Lutterworth: Archaeological Evaluation (OASIS ID: headland3-229714)

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Headland Archaeology during September and October 2015, at Land adjacent to Glebe Farm, Coventry Road, Lutterworth, where a total of 68 trenches were excavated. One Roman ditch, and three undated, but potentially related, linear features were identified on higher ground in the north of the site. Deep alluvial deposits were identified adjacent to the line of an extant watercourse in the centre of the site. Areas of landfill were identified in the northern and eastern parts of the proposed development area. In the east of the site, landfill deposits measured up to 4.00m in depth. The depositional sequence suggested that truncation of the historical land surface had taken place prior to the deposition of landfill material. The potential for the site to contain further remains of archaeological significance is assessed as low.

2015年9月至10月期间，海德兰考古公司（Headland Archaeology）在卢特沃思市考文垂路格莱布农场毗邻地块开展考古评估工作，共开挖68处探沟。在场地北部的高地上，识别出1条罗马时期沟渠，以及3处年代未明但可能存在关联的线性遗迹；场地中部现存河道沿线区域发现了深厚的冲积堆积。拟建开发区域的北部与东部片区存在填埋堆积层，其中东部区域的填埋堆积厚度可达4.00米。沉积序列显示，填埋堆积形成前，历史地表曾遭到剥蚀。经评估，该场地内含其他具有考古价值遗存的可能性较低。
