Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of archaeological survey and recording was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the Iron Age hillfort at Burrough Hill in May 2013. The work focused on areas of erosion to the earthworks on the eastern side of the hillfort that had exposed stonework relating to the construction of the ramparts. Erosion of the ramparts appears to have originated through natural processes involving soil slippage and root disturbance, but this problem has been exacerbated over time through human and animal traffic on the earthworks. Exposure of stonework largely reflected the dumped layers of soil and ironstone rubble forming the core of the hillfort defences but several areas provided more detailed evidence. In these areas drystone walls of coursed ironstone blocks probably related to the original facing of the hillfort rampart wall. The south facing side of the hillfort has been badly affected by numerous badger and rabbit holes which are destabilising the rampart construction. Locations of the worst of these was also recorded as part of the project. The fieldwork was undertaken by John Thomas and Andrew Hyam of ULAS from May 28th - 31st 2013. The Archive for the project will be held by Leicestershire Museums Service under the Accession Number X.A59.2013.
