Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological excavation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in 2020 on land off Park Lane, Castle Donington, Leicestershire DE74 2UA (SK 435 268), prior to residential development. Work followed earlier archaeological evaluations conducted on the site by ULAS in 2003 and by MOLA in 2014 and 2019. An open area excavation undertaken by ULAS on adjacent land in 2011 had produced further late prehistoric and Roman archaeological activity. Four areas were excavated. Area A, fronting Park Lane and located on the brow of a north-facing slope overlooking the River Trent, produced further evidence of an Early Iron Age pit alignment first observed in 2011. In the Early or Middle Iron Age the first of a series of probable boundary ditches was set out with two accompanying ditched enclosures set out along its length. Area B revealed the continuation of the ditches and a third attendant enclosure. Area C was opened in order to determine the existence of possible Anglo-Saxon occupation; the area was revealed to be archaeologically blank. Area D, located down the slope to the north, produced two pits of Iron Age date. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A30.2020.
