Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological fieldwork was carried out by ULAS between August 2007 and September 2008, in advance of, and during, work on the A47 Earl Shilton Bypass. Site A at Elmesthorpe (south of Earl Shilton) consisted of the Elmesthorpe manorial earthworks, including a series of fishponds. This work included trial trenching, photographic and field survey, auger surveying, excavation, recording and a watching brief. Trial trenching identified several truncated features of possible Roman, Saxon and medieval date, and a record of the 'wildfowl pond' embankment was made. Excavation of the main ponds did not identify any structural evidence to associate these with their use as fisheries, and confirmed their function as ornamental ponds, which can be associated with other features in the vicinity and being part of the grandiose pleasure grounds for the manorial site at Elmesthorpe. The work was carried out for Leicestershire County Council. Leicestershire Museums will hold the archives under the Accession number XA184 2007.
