Abstract:		 University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological excavation on land to the south of Bosworth Road, Kirkby Mallory, Peckleton, Leicestershire (SK 4429 0079). The work was undertaken as a condition of planning permission in advance of an extension to Cadeby Quarry. Following geophysical and fieldwalking surveys and a trial trench evaluation the archaeological excavation revealed multi period activity comprising a Bronze Age ring ditch and cremation cemetery, Iron Age and Roman settlement with field systems, Anglo-Saxon settlement and Anglo Saxon burials. The Bronze Age cremation area was associated with pits containing Rusticated Beaker and Food Vessel sherds. The Iron Age Roman enclosures were associated with pits, one of which contained saddle quern fragments. The Roman activity to the south-east comprised enclosures, pits and a rectangular structure of beam slot construction. The presence of Anglo-Saxon settlement and funerary activity is significant, comprising sunken featured buildings with 5th-6th century pottery, a pit containing loom weights and possible graves with metalwork including a spear, knife, and a bucket handle.
