Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological fieldwalking survey was carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for land west of Station Lane, Asfordby, Leicestershire (SK 70027 18729). The survey was commissioned by Jelson Ltd. in advance of the proposed development of the land for new housing and the work took place in October 2014. A significant assemblage of 74 worked flints was recovered during the survey, which included 40 tools, including an unusual scale-flaked knife, a number of cores, scrapers, and piercers. The remainder of the assemblage was made up of flakes, some of which were retouched. The assemblage is believed to date from the Early Bronze Age but contains a number of re-used pieces from the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. The location of the finds suggests that they are associated with two ring ditches within the field, which were originally seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs and have been confirmed by a recent geophysical survey, carried out as part of the current evaluation. The flint assemblage supports the interpretation of these features as Neolithic/Bronze Age burial mounds, which have been ploughed out. A low density scatter of medieval and early post-medieval pottery was also recovered across the area that was surveyed. A slightly higher concentration of late post-medieval and modern pottery was also present, which has been discarded after examination and logging. These finds are likely to be associated with manuring activity, taking place from the medieval period onwards.
