Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation in advance of residential development of land south of Leicester Road, Uppingham, Rutland . Two areas were excavated, Area 1 contained a large and extensive middle Iron Age ditch. Similar and contemporary ditched boundaries/trackways have been observed elsewhere in the region. In the vicinity of the ditch was a scatter of pits, also believed to be middle Iron Age in date. Some of the pits had been lined with clay, which suggests that they were used for heating water. Area 2 contained a pit alignment, which is now a ubiquitous feature of the later prehistoric landscape across the Midlands. As is often the case, no firm construction date or functional evidence was recovered. However, it is likely to have been backfilled in the middle Iron Age. Its relationship with the ditch in Area 1 is uncertain, as any physical relationship between the two lay to the north of the development area. Two four-post structures and a number of other post-holes, pits and gullies were also revealed, which are assumed to have been broadly contemporary with the line of pits. Later features were restricted to the remnants of medieval furrows, and a modern ditch. A summary of the work will be published in the Leicestershire county archaeological journal, and this report will be uploaded onto the OASIS website (ref. no.: albionar1-246176). With the landowner's permission, the archive will be deposited with the Rutland County Museum
