Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by ULAS for Sandhurst Builders working on behalf of Mr and Mrs G Jeffery in advance of proposed residential development on Forge Field to the Rear of 5 Market Place, Billesdon, Leicestershire, planning application: 04/1486FUL. The work was carried out in May 2005 and comprised the excavation of three 20m x 1.5m evaluation trenches located to target the proposed house footprints and an area of possible medieval earthworks. The proposed development site for five new dwellings lies to the rear of property fronting onto Market Place in the historic core of the medieval village of Billesdon. Prior to the development work the land was occupied by gardens and a small orchard with a small range of 19th century buildings along the south west of the plot. Number 5 Market Place lies to the south east. A number of shallow postholes, pits and linear features were located in each trench but with little dating evidence. Some early medieval and post medieval pottery was recovered along with a single piece of heavily abraded Roman greyware. Records and archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council, Heritage Services, accession number X.A.47.2005
