Abstract:		 Richborough Estates Ltd, are seeking planning permission for residential development of a site, covering c. 16.2ha, located to the west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch town centre, Leicestershire. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd, working on behalf of Richborough Estates Ltd, to undertake a programme of fieldwalking survey of c. 6ha of the proposed development area, which was suitable for the recovery of surface artefacts. The fieldwalking survey area comprised a large rectangular land parcel extending c. 300m by 240m . At the time of the fieldwalking survey the ground conditions were consistent across the area. The land parcel available for fieldwalking comprised approximately 40% of the area. The survey recovered a total of 43 items from 30 findspots, the majority of which were pottery, which ranged in date from the medieval to post-medieval periods; a small number of post-1900 items were also retrieved. Other finds included small quantities of slag/clinker, clay tobacco pipe, flint and post-medieval glass. Very small quantities of prehistoric and medieval artefacts were recovered, including a single piece of unworked burnt flint and a struck flint. The four medieval pottery sherds, are derived from four different vessels, probably part of a manuring spread. The range and quantity of later artefacts was greater, with late medieval to post-medieval pottery being distributed across the eastern part of the survey area. There was a marked correlation between the clustering of artefacts and boundaries shown on the first edition OS map of 1883, which enclosed the former open fields. Three areas containing concentrations of modern material were identified during the survey. The fieldwalking survey was undertaken in good conditions, indicating a high degree of confidence in the results.
