Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Oakford Archaeology in July 2021 on land adjacent to the B6047, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. The work comprised the machine-excavation of 6 trenches totalling 180m in length, with each trench 1.6m wide. These provided a spatial sample of the site. The evaluation identified the presence of an N-S aligned linear feature at the northern end of Trench 3 underneath the remnant ridge and furrow. The single fill contained four sherds of Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age pottery and the feature probably forms part of an agricultural ditch system. Well defined ridge and furrow was identified in all the trenches, although dating was constrained by the lack of dateable artefactual material and the homogeneity of the soil that formed the earthwork features.
