Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A watching brief was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during groundworks for the construction of a Warehouse Unit on Plot 3, Westminster Industrial Estate, Repton Road, Measham. The brief involved continuous archaeological control and supervision of any groundworks on the site, which may disturb areas of archaeological potential. Since the archaeological evaluation in 1997 (Coward 1997), the site has undergone many changes. The top soil was removed some time ago, as evidenced by a layer of sparse vegetation which had developed on the natural sand and clay. The ground had been compacted and the centre of the site used for the dumping of construction waste. Stripping of the vegetation revealed features only on the fringes of the site where disturbance had been minimal. A field boundary and a wide shallow ditch both containing modern pottery ran, potentially, east west across the site. A narrow, probable drainage ditch ran north south, but became increasingly shallow and disappeared after a distance of 9.61 metres. The excavated section of the ditch contained no dating evidence. There were no other features or deposits of archaeological significance. The archive will be deposited with the Leicestershire and Rutland Sites and Monuments Record under the accession number X.A111 2007.
