Lantern Lane, East Leake, Nottinghamshire

In January 2021 Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation
for the RPS Group on behalf of Miller Homes, on the site of a proposed
residential development. The site is located along Lantern Lane, East Leake,
Nottinghamshire. The works comprised 24 trenches, representing a 2%
sample of the proposed development area.
The site is located on the southern edge of a gentle north-eastward slope, with
low earthworks of ridge and furrow surviving across the area. Furrows were
identified in several of the trenches, as well as a small number of postmedieval
to modern remains that were investigated and sampled. The
remains associated with a partially demolished post-war barn were also
identified.
The results of the evaluation complement the documentary evidence which
shows that the site has not been historically used for settlement. Based on the
evaluation results, the site is considered to have no further archaeological
interest.
