Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken on the proposed wind farm site at Swinford, Leicestershire by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 29th of September and the 14th of October 2010. Under planning permission number 08/00506/FUL it is proposed to construct eleven wind turbines over a total area covering approximately 350ha. The Senior Planning Archaeologist, as advisor to the planning authority, requested that trial trenching take place at each turbine site and at a temporary construction compound to identify and locate any archaeological remains that may be affected by the development. At each turbine site two trenches following a cruciform plan were excavated along with one located on the site of an associated construction crane. Where geophysical surveying indicated the possibility of archaeological features an additional trench was specified. Two single trenches were located at the construction compound. No archaeological features or deposits were observed within the trenches at Turbine sites 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 and the construction compound. A number of later 1st and early 2nd century Roman ditches, gullies and other features were identified at Turbine 4 which were possibly associated with settlement activity. A single undated gully was noted at Turbine 5. Two ditches were observed at Turbine 9 which, although undated, were possibly associated with a nearby deserted medieval village. Two shallow post holes were also observed at Turbine 11 one of which contained two abraded sherds of mid 1st century sandy ware.
