Abstract:		 In April and May 2014, Robert Doughty Consultancy commissioned an archaeological trial-trench evaluation on land on the north side of the village of Billinghay.The proposed development site, centred on TF 1548 5516 is bordered on the north side by the Car Dyke, an artificial watercourse established during the Roman occupation of Britain. Five trial trenches were excavated. Of these, only two contained archaeological features of any significance, although with the exception of a single sherd of medieval pottery from one pit, these are all undated. The pit may be associated with agriculture or the remains of a farm complex on the site identified by historic mapping. A number of undated ditch features aligned virtually parallel with the Car Dyke may represent water management or drainage features. Surviving, undated pits found below the subsoil in Trench 5 in the site's interior suggest that there is a potential for further archaeology to survive there, although the results from the site strongly suggest the presence of contamination and features of low archaeological significance. No archaeology was found during the evaluation that would preclude the proposed development. In fact, the results suggest that the development would have little or no impact upon any significant archaeological remains, although the areas of archaeology that do exist may need to be preserved by record during development.
