Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out on land at Sapcote Road, Sapcote, Leicestershire (SP 489 939) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of a proposed new housing development by Jelson Ltd. The site consisted of two fields, one sub-triangular (Field 1) and one rectangular (Field 2) within the parishes of Stoney Stanton and Sapcote, with the parish boundary running between the two fields. Both were under pasture and Field 1 contained features associated with the former Top Quarry (now Stoney Cove), which lies to the north-east. Twenty-one trenches measuring 30m x 1.9m were placed across the land. Most were negative but for the presence of several stone rubble and ceramic drains. The land was very poorly drained along the western side close to a stream and several of the trenches became totally or partially flooded during the excavations. Two trenches contained areas or disturbance associated with a set of large sewer pipes that ran across the site, broadly north to south. Three trenches contained archaeological features, consisting of linear features, most likely ditches associated with agricultural practices. Only one sherd of datable pottery was found from a ditch feature in Trench 12 in Field 1. This was a sherd of medieval Stamford ware pottery dating to between AD 850-1250. The archaeological features appeared to be concentrated at the very south-eastern edge of both fields on the higher, better drained ground, suggesting that the site lies at the very edge of this activity.
