Abstract:		 Watching briefs and salvage excavations were undertaken along the route of the gas pipeline. The pipeline ran through a landscape of proven archaeological potential, including the Fosse Way (Area A), a Mesolithic flint scatter (Area B) and a cropmark complex (Area C). Seven sites (Areas A to G) of archaeological interest were recorded. At Area A (ST 8397 7937) two ditches which formed part of the roadside ditches of the Fosse Way were revealed. At Area B (ST 8880 7653) two undated pits and a post-medieval field boundary were recorded. A Romano-British copper alloy disc brooch was retrieved from the ploughsoil. At Area C (ST 8982 7656) excavations revealed the presence of Early/Middle Iron Age and Romano-British activity. At Area D (ST 8492 7868) two pits, one containing a sherd of 2nd/3rd century AD pottery, and a small flint scatter were identified. A rapid respone excavation at Area E (ST 8790 7998) revealed a hitherto unknown area of dense Romano-British activity, spanning from the 1st to 4th centuries. At Area F (ST 8771 7716) an Iron Age boundary ditch was revealed. In Area G (ST 8676 7752) a bowl shped pit, suggestive of in-situ smithing activity was revealed. [Au(abr)]
