Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at the Fernie Hunt kennels, , Great Bowden, Leicestershire (SP 735 883). The field evaluation consisted of seven trenches placed within the proposed development areas around the site. During the work the proposed development was changed and so one trench (Trench 5) was excavated outside the proposed development. Two of the trenches (Trenches 1 and 3) contained modern features, which may have originated during earlier periods; a furrow and a pond respectively. Another trench (Trench 7) contained a Victorian well and some disturbed areas of rubble and appeared to be situated close to where early maps show a cottage once stood. All the other trenches contained ditches and pits, most of which could be dated to the Late Anglo-Saxon to Early High Medieval period. A few features contained later medieval material, suggesting continuity into the later period. Most of the features in Trench 5, were not fully excavated. However, a large amount of surface finds from this trench also indicated Anglo-Saxon-medieval activity. The type of archaeological evidence from the evaluation is indicative of agricultural activity in the area during the Late Anglo-Saxon to Early High Medieval period. However, the amount of pottery collected of fine fabrics, along with artefacts such as a copper alloy ring found within a ditch fill in Trench 4, suggests a settlement somewhere in the close vicinity.
