Abstract:		 University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by URS Scott Wilson on behalf of David Wilson Homes to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed residential development on land off Frolesworth Road, Broughton Astley, Leicestershire. The proposed development area had been identified as being of archaeological potential, located within an archaeologically diverse landscape with sites of known archaeological significance nearby. The archaeological evaluation revealed a number of archaeologically significant features including evidence of medieval occupation within the north-easternmost part of the proposed development area dating from the 12th to 15th Century and a prehistoric pit alignment within the southernmost part of the proposed development area. A number of post-medieval features were also recorded including the likely remains of a windmill and the partially standing remains of the farm complex which remains within the north-easternmost part of the proposed development area, originally known as Old Mill Farm which may also represent the evolution of a medieval croft. No evidence of a substantial linear anomaly identified by geophysical survey was observed. The archive for the archaeological work will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the museums accession number X.A121.2011.
