Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation in advance of the construction Leicester Park and Ride development at Leicester Lane, Enderby, Leicestershire (SP 5520 9956). The work focussed on excavation of two separate areas (1 and 2) along the eastern boundary of the development area that had been highlighted as having archaeological potential on the basis of prior evaluation (Harvey 2006). The most striking element of the site was two parallel ditches, running broadly north-south across the site. The two ditches were clearly related as they both exhibited the same subtle changes of alignment along their course. Pottery from the eastern ditch suggested these features originated in the Mid-Late Iron Age and are probably part of a larger linear monument or trackway. The eastern ditch becomes abandoned but the western ditch continues to be used after the Roman conquest, potentially becoming integrated into a later settlement with later gullies extending eastwards out of the development area dating to the late 1st to 2nd century AD. The boundary clearly had territorial importance as five human burials were recorded along its stretch as well a further burial and disarticulated human remains being recorded within the ditch itself. It may still have been important as a territorial marker well into the 3rd century AD or beyond.
