Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief was undertaken for CPMG Architects by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during the construction of a new hospital extension at the rear of the existing St. Mary's Hospital along with a new access road development. The work was undertaken between 31st of July and the 1st of September 2003; planning application number 02/00487/FUL. There was high potential for buried archaeological remains as the application site lies near to the historic core of Melton Mowbray and close to a possible Anglo-Saxon cemetery and water mill. A single sunken-featured building containing early (c.AD 450-650) Anglo-Saxon pottery, spindle whorls and a loomweight was discovered on the development site. A small group of animal bone belonging to domesticated animals also formed part of the assemblage. The finds represent part of a settlement of unknown size and extent which appears to have been destroyed by later agricultural activity or hospital buildings. Finds and records will be deposited with the Heritage Services, Leicestershire County Council, Accession number X.A.90.2003.
