Abstract:		 Trench and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by the Environment Agency to undertake an archaeological watching brief during restoration works on the River Mease, Oakthorpe, Leicestershire. The works included the removal of two early 20th century weirs approximately 400m apart along the course of the river, along with the stripping of areas to the north of the river to increase the capacity of the floodplain. It was possible that archaeological remains might be revealed during the excavations, particularly prehistoric remains relating to a settlement located approximately 500m to the east of the centre of the site. No archaeological finds or features were uncovered during the excavations; however, ground reduction was in most cases relatively shallow, leaving open the possibility that remains may yet survive at greater depth.
