Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological excavations by the author in 1969 and 1970 at Wigston Parva, Leicestershire (SP 464 894), at the site of a single-ditched enclosure recorded by an aerial photograph by Dr St Joseph, revealed a fort of the early Roman period. Excavations in advance of the widening of the A5 recorded the south-west ditch sections, one of which was overlain by a cobbled surface, possibly a stretch of the original Watling street. the eastern gate was examined and found to be a towered gateway with double entrance with a titulus in front. the ditch, rampart and intervallum road were located as well as part of an interior structure. the enclosure at Wigston Parva is a small roman fort, just over 0.68ha, which dates to the early years of Roman occupation possibly preceding the construction of Watling street.
