Hinckley West, Leicestershire Archaeological Evaluation Report Phase 4

In May 2023 Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by RPS on behalf of Bloor
Homes to undertake a trial-trench evaluation across land proposed for
residential development located northeast of Triumph Motorcyles, Hinckley,
Leicestershire. The fieldwork was undertaken over the course of four days and
consisted of 7 trenches across a 4.15ha site. The trenches were arranged to
provide even coverage of the area taking into account modern services and site
fencing.
No significant archaeological remains were found during the evaluation.
Agricultural furrows were identified across many of the trenches, which also
matched the alignment of a late post medieval field boundary ditch identified in
Trench 5.
