Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological work at Cossington, Leicestershire has included the excavation of three Bronze Age round barrows (two excavated in 1976 and the third in 1999) that are part of a dispersed barrow cemetery, located at the confluence of the rivers Soar and Wreake. The two 1976 barrows included (Site 1) a single re-cut ring ditch with central feature and a middle Bronze Age urn cemetery and (Site 2) a double ring ditch with a central crouched inhumation burial of a young male child and grave goods, and a cremation urn in a stone cist. Specialist reports and a draft site report have been completed for these excavations and it is intended that they will be updated and included in the final publication of the 1999 excavations. The Updated Project Design fulfils the criteria for Aggregates Levy Sustainability funding by meeting many of the aims for archaeological projects set out in Exploring our Past (EH98). In particular the analysis and publication of the three barrow sites from Cossington will help advance understanding of England's archaeology, enable a significant backlog archive to be published and contribute to regional and national research frameworks. A complementary programme of Outreach events will help promote the archaeology of the site to the general public and by doing so, further understanding of the historic environment and promote the work of English Heritage. The archaeological work was funded by Wanlip Gravel Company, English Heritage and ULAS. The site archive will be deposited with LMARS (X.A35.1999).
