Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in March 2012 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Everards Limited. The fieldwork was a pre-determination requirement on a proposed planning application for commercial development on land south of Soar Valley Way, Enderby, Leicestershire, in order that the potential impact of the development on such remains may be assessed by the Planning Authority and an appropriate mitigation strategy put in place. The archaeological evaluation revealed some evidence for archaeological activity, probably of stock agricultural character of late prehistoric and/or early Roman date. This agricultural activity appeared to be concentrated in the western part of the site, with a possible concentration of Roman activity centred on the south-west corner. Archaeological features included a small rectangular stock enclosure associated with a possible pond or watering hole feature. A number of ditches identified in the vicinity may have been functionally linked to this arrangement, possibly as drove roads. The absence of archaeological evidence in the eastern area is possibly explained by a variation in the geology between the upslope, more permeable geology of sands and gravels (hence more suited to settlement observed to the west, and as such atypical of the locality) and the heavier, alluvial geology characterising the eastern part of the site.
