Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Amec Foster Wheeler Environment and Infrastructure, on behalf of Crown Estates, to undertake evaluation trenching and borehole survey in advance of proposed development. Three pieces of prehistoric worked flint were found although the nature of prehistoric activity is unresolved. Romano-British ditches and occasional pits corresponding to Geophysical anomalies were identified in the north and west of the Site adjacent to the Fosse Way. Romano-British finds including a small amount of fine ware were recovered. This evidence likely indicates a field system, but given the limited nature of the work to date it is plausible that this instead represents a continuation of the Romano-British activity previously recorded from site DE3001 of the A46 improvement works. Two sherds of possible Anglo-Saxon pottery potentially fit with the post-Roman shift in settlement from Margidunum to Bingham. This Anglo-Saxon phase appeared to respect the previous Romano-British field system, suggesting some level of continuity. The area which had previously been part of the Bingham Basin was unlikely to have been suitable for settlement or agricultural practice prior to reclamation. The majority of features in this area form part of the post-medieval field system. The remaining features likely relate to an earlier field system (possibly medieval), predating formalised enclosure. Lacustrine deposits formed a consistent sequence of peat and marl deposits varying in depth from 0.4m towards the lake margins to approximately 2.2m in the centre of the lake. No features or finds associated with human activity were identified from this wetland environment.
