Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of non-intrusive archaeological survey was carried out in late summer and autumn 2003 over the area of a proposed quarry access road in Thistleton, Rutland (SK 910 173) for East Midlands Quarry Ltd/Mineral Surveying Services. The roadline will run from a proposed quarry extension on the northern side of Thistleton Road eastwards to New Road. The proposed route of the access road crossed to the north of the known site of a Roman Small Town, the site of which exists southwest of the present village. The extent of the small town had not been confirmed and would potentially extend across the proposed roadline. A corridor of land 50m either side of the proposed access road was field-walked. A light scatter of pottery dating from the Roman through to the modern period was recovered from two large fields south of the village. However, close to the known site of the Roman small town, there were dense concentrations of Roman pottery, tile and slag. Much of the pottery could be dated to the later part of the Roman occupation. A geophysical survey by magnetic susceptibility and gradiometry of the road corridor was also carried out in 2003 by ULAS for East Midlands Quarry Ltd/Mineral Surveying Services. Areas of unusually high magnetic susceptibility were located, and follow-up gradiometry survey was undertaken. Additional gradiometry survey of the surrounding area was also undertaken by the University of Leicester School of Archaeology and Ancient History as part of an ongoing research project. The survey revealed part of the layout of an extensive settlement dating to the Roman period, which was present over the majority of the western half of the proposed route of the access road. Some features of possible pre-Roman date were also located. The archive will be deposited with Rutland County Museum, Catmose Street, Oakham, Rutland LE15 6HW under the Accession Number A2.2003
