Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land off Nottingham Road, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, SK 74111 21026 The work was commissioned by Mr Martin Brown and HSSP Architects advance of the development of the site for new housing. Geophysical survey has been undertaken (Richardson 2015) which has located anomalies most likely relating to Iron Age or Romano-British settlement. They do not appear to be associated with the SM being on different alignments and of different form. Seven trenches were excavated across the area of proposed development. Unless otherwise stated, the topsoil consisted of friable, dark greyish brown silty-clay loam with 5% pebbles (1), below which mid-yellowish brown silty-clay plastic subsoil with 5% pebbles (2) was present. The natural subsoil consisted of yellowish brown clay with occasional sand patches with common chalk flecks throughout. Along with evidence of field drains, the archaeological evaluation recorded positive results in five of the seven trenches. With the exception of a single pit, all features appeared to represent linear features (ditches and gullies). Diagnostic sherds of pottery indicate a mid-late Iron Age date for these features. The archive for this site will be deposited with Leicestershire County Museums with accession number X.A6.2016
