Abstract/Summary
A windfarm comprising seven turbines with attendant structures is proposed near Rushton. The proposed windfarm encompasses 83ha of arable farmland above the River Ise. A programme of archaeological works was undertaken including detailed magnetometry survey of 7ha of land and 145 linear metres of trenching. The geophysical survey indicated the remnants of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation as well as fragmentary remains of historic field boundaries. The trial trenching confirmed these features. A single worked flint knife was recovered from the subsoil.
