Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Harborough District Council granted planning permission for the construction of an extension to Magna Park Lutterworth, Leicestershire. On the recommendation of the Principal Archaeologist of Leicestershire County Council, two conditions were attached to the planning consent, requiring a programme archaeological work to be undertaken. The programme of archaeological work initially comprised excavation of six areas within the permitted development area, which was undertaken, MP3530 Albion Archaeology 2017. In addition, although outside of the scope of the initial WSI, it was agreed that works associated with the construction of a new roundabout on the A5 and improvements at the A4303/A426 Rugby Road roundabout should be subject to an archaeological watching brief, in order to comply with the archaeological conditions. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by RPS to undertake the works. The watching brief comprised monitoring of groundworks in three locations. In WB1, an area to the NW of the previously investigated excavation Area 3, the topsoil was removed to expose the underlying subsoil. The formation level of construction was reached at this point and, therefore, no further ground reduction was undertaken. The archaeological horizon was not exposed and archaeological remains may potentially survive beneath the subsoil. WB2, an area to the SW of the current A5 in the location of the new roundabout, identified a c.0.75m-high bank of modern made ground, underlying the road. Whilst no features or deposits were present elsewhere within the stripped area, it is possible that remains associated with the Roman road may survive beneath this made ground. The ground reduction in WB3, an area to the NW of the Rugby Road roundabout, showed only areas of modern disturbance. No features or deposits associated with the nearby former medieval hospital were present.
