Abstract:		 An exploratory excavation took place over a large late Iron Age - Roman period rectilinear enclosure identified by geophysical survey at Whirlow Hall Farm during July-August 2011, with a second phase of excavations in June-July 2016. Two trenches were excavated in 2011; Trench 1 was located over the west entrance of the rectilinear enclosure and Trench 2 was located over the parallel flanking ditches of a trackway leading to the east entrance of the enclosure. The 2016 excavation expanded Trench 1 and completed its excavation and also opened Trench 3 within the north-west edge of the enclosure and Trench 4 on a geophysical anomaly beyond the enclosure on its north side. A further exploratory excavation took place higher up on the Whirlow Hall Farm estate on an area of plateau on top of Bole Hill where Trench 5 targeted a square double ditch-defined site identified by geophysical survey, and which on the basis of the work reported here is confidently interpreted as the remains of a Roman signal station.
