Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological fieldwork was carried out by ULAS between August 2007 and November 2008, during work on the A47 Earl Shilton Bypass. This work consisted of a watching brief on the roadline during contractors' groundworks. Archaeological deposits were identified during the removal of the Wilkinson Lane/Station Road carriageway. These deposits are thought to represent construction layers for the dam/bank at the east end of the north pond of the Elmesthorpe earthworks. A small amount of medieval demolition material was identified at the base of these deposits, including pottery, tile and roof slate. To the south of Elmesthorpe Lane, the line of a linear feature could be traced north-west to south-east, and can be seen to be on the line of the village boundary earthworks surveyed in the past. No other features or finds were identified during the watching brief. The work was carried out for Carillion/McAlpine plc. Leicestershire Museums, Arts and Records Service will hold the finds and documentary archive under the Accession number XA184 2007.
