Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commisioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching on land off Wentworth Close, Kibworth, Leicestershire. The work was undertaken in support of a planning application for residential development, submitted by Barratt Homes North Midlands Division. To support the planning application, a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey had previously been commissioned. The desk based assessment had identified extensive ridge and furrow across the development area and the potential for Romano-British remains associated with finds recovered during the construction of the nearby Weir Road housing estate. The geophysical survey failed to identify any specific features of archaeological interest. As part of the current phase of works twelve trenches were excavated across approximately 3.15 ha of land; the majority positioned to prospect for archaeological remains sealed beneath the well-preserved ridge and furrow earthworks. The evaluation trenching identified a west to east aligned Romano-British ditch within Trenches 4 and 11. Less well defined archaeological features uncovered included a small sub-circular pit in Trench 3, and a similar small pit in trench 10, neither of which produced any finds. More recent remains include modern field drains located crossing Trenches 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10 and 11.
