Abstract:		 Between October and November 2018 MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) Northampton carried out an archaeological excavation on land off Fleckney Road, Kibworth Harcourt, Leicestershire. This work initially included digging approximately 30 slots positioned across the area of excavation through a variety of features with relationships and key features prioritised; after a meeting with the Planning Archaeologist a further 71 slots were excavated. The site revealed a landscape of sub-rectangular enclosures with two parallel segmented boundary ditches to the south defining a routeway. A large rectangular enclosure was established during the late Iron Age period. During the Roman period, a series of ditched enclosures on a contrasting alignment were established that were in use until the mid to late-3rd century. Following a hiatus in activity a series of regular, rectilinear ditched enclosures on an east to west alignment were established during the Saxon period. A middle Saxon radiocarbon date was obtained from a post-built structure located within one of the enclosures which contained evidence for iron smithing.
