Abstract:		 Excavations east of Beaumont Leys Lane, Beaumont Leys, Leicester (SK 6172 0590) in advance of office and warehouse development have located an extensive area of Middle Iron Age open settlement lying adjacent to a landscape boundary ditch. The settlement was evidently long-lived and consisted of a spread of roundhouses, animal pens and four-post storage structures. A range of finds including pottery, animal bone and quernstones was recovered, and several 'exotic' artefacts hinted at the wide-ranging contacts of the settlement. Limited environmental information was recovered and it is suggested that the inhabitants of the settlement were predominantly involved with livestock farming.
