Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Laing O'Rourke on behalf of Severn Trent Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief during insertion of a new water main between Hungarton and Ingarsby, Leicestershire. Two sections of the pipeline works were monitored. The first section lay within the village of Hungarton, 10km north-east of Leicester and approximately 16km west of Oakham. All excavations along Main Street, Church Lane and Barley Lea were monitored. The second section followed Ingarsby Lane through the deserted medieval village of Ingarsby, 2km south of Hungarton and 2km north of Houghton on the Hill. In total the excavation of 60 pits and trenches were observed. The majority of groundworks took place along the line of the existing cast-iron pipe. As such no archaeological remains or deposits were observed. Where groundworks deviated from the present pipe archaeological deposits and finds were encountered in three trenches. A red-brick culvert in Trench 12 on Main Street (east) in Hungarton was of probable 19th century date. A stone window mullion from Trench 44 on Ingarsby Lane found within the back-fill (4403) of the existing cast-iron water pipe can be matched within the 15th century range of Ingarsby Hall immediately to the north-west of Ingarsby. A group of iron 'ingots' found within Trench 59 on Main Street (west) in Hungarton probably pre-date 1940 and relate to the manufacture and installation of the existing cast iron water main. Wall footings in the same trench are of unknown date and function. The quality and significance of the remains present on the Scheme, when placed in a local and regional context, is low.
