Abstract:		 The site is located approximately 10km northwest of Loughborough and 14.5km southeast of the centre of Derby; in between Castle Donington to the west and Kegworth to the east. The largest area of the site comprises an area of mainly arable agricultural land located directly to the north of East Midlands Airport and west of the M1. There are narrow, linear survey areas to the north and east of the village of Lockington and another linear survey area located to the south of Kegworth. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 225ha The archaeology detected includes several enclosure complexes, at least one of these relates to human occupation with ring gullies of round houses identified within the enclosure. Some of the other enclosures may have served an agricultural function and may be relatively modern. There are isolated ditch sections scattered throughout the data; some relate to fairly recent former field boundaries but others may indicate earlier field systems. Ridge and furrow was detected in some fields with the north of A10 in particular shown to contain the greatest concentration of these features. Some possible Second World War dispersal pens were identified within fields A10, F06 and F10 as strongly magnetised anomalies linked by roads/tracks. These features correspond to the position of recorded earthworks on early OS maps and are considered to be part of RAF Castle Donington.
