Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in March 2017 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Langton Developments Ltd. at Hallaton Road, Tugby, Leicestershire. The fieldwork was undertaken in response to a proposed planning application for a residential development on land at Hallaton Road, Tugby, Leicestershire. A preliminary Desk-based Assessment concluded that the proposed development area is located on the southern edge of the historic settlement core of the village and hence had the potential for the presence of buried archaeological remains relating to the medieval and post-medieval settlement. Consequently a scheme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken in order to mitigate the potential impact of the development on any such archaeological remains as might be present. The archaeological evaluation at Hallaton Road, Tugby revealed evidence for localised archaeological activity in the northern corner of the proposed development area in the form of ditches, a possible pit and a post-hole, the majority of which were dated by pottery to the late 3rd or 4th century. The ditches appear to follow the contour of the brow of the slope and hence form the line between the falling land to the southeast and the higher land to the north-west. Consequently the ditches may represent the boundary to an enclosure occupying the higher, flatter ground immediately to the north-west of the site. The presence of several recuts suggests that this boundary having been maintained over a lengthy period. The absence of these linear features from Trench 1 implies their course shifted sharply to the north or north-west and hence suggesting the presence of a square or rectangular enclosure. Environmental analysis of ditch fills points to wheat cereal processing and consumption activity in the near vicinity, and animal faunal evidence suggests typical Roman domestic consumption.
