Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation on land between Foxton and West Langton, near Market Harborough, Leicestershire, located up to seven Anglo-Saxon inhumation graves, representing part of a larger cemetery of late fifth and sixth century date. Whilst little human bone survived, there was also evidence for cremation burial in the cemetery. The grave goods, which include beads, brooches and other pieces of metalwork, suggest that three of the graves contained female burials, and one contained a dual female and male burial, the male being buried with a shield. A further inhumation grave, within the area of a Roman villa complex about 500m to the north, contained a Roman coin, although the previous finding of Anglo-Saxon pottery and metalwork at this location could indicate a second Anglo-Saxon burial ground. This grave is, therefore, of uncertain date.
