Abstract:		 In August 2021, Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned to undertake evaluation trenching at land at Markfield Road, Ratby, Leicestershire, to determine the location, nature, date, character and form of any archaeologically sensitive features or deposits present within the proposed development area. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of thirteen evaluation trenches the positions of which were informed by geophysical survey and an archaeological desk-based assessment. The evaluation fieldwork was undertaken in August 2021. The evaluation revealed just one archaeological feature, a ditch in trench 1, whilst within Trenches 4 and 13 plough furrows were identified. These plough furrows correlate with the geophysical survey anomalies which are on the same alignment. The rest of the trenches revealed a layer of pure reddish-brown clay which was characterised as a naturally derived deposit. No further features of archaeological potential were revealed.
